Re: Sprint RS



Dear Marc,

I fully agree with you that the VTR is probably a better sportbike than the
RS, but all the tests looked at many more than this single criterion. And
over all the RS was always the winner. They said that the Sprint RS is
presently the best available combination of both worlds: sportbike and
touringbike. They agreed that this will always be a compromise, but
according to the authors this is the best compromise they´ve ever tested.

Ride Safe

Thomas

another 4 weeks until I get my yellow compromise :-)
