All the rides were sold for scrap- tickets were too expensive for what you got (I believe ~ $70 per…

I am an ST1100 guy (in fact, I have 2 of them, a 1994 ABS and a 2000 non ABS)- while it’s true they are a heavier bike (and carburated), in the time I’ve owned these I’ve never felt them to be too heavy of a bike and at age 55 I can still manhandle them pretty well (at 65-70, we’ll see I guess).
