RE: Triumph Sprint ST vs Ducati ST4

["Rick Damiani" <rickd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The ST4 has a more race-oriented riding position, about the same power (with
a little less torque down low), strange looking hard bags and one of the
best sounding motorcycle engines made. It looks as if valve adjustment on
one of those is a little more complicated than on a Sprint, bu thte Sprint
has 50% more valves to adjust, so I expect that it would be a wash.

I would have given the ST4 much more serious consideration if it didn't cost
so much more than the Sprint.
