Sorry to repeat, but just in case there are any newer RS owners who are 
thinking "What?!", Jim Karl's figs come from Motorcyclist.  Here are some 
stats from Rider magazine:
        HP            Torque        Top gear roll-on   fuel mileage
'00 RS  98.1@9500     64.8@5300     4.05               48.5
'99 ST  101.3@9500    64.6@5200     4.06               43

Very similar as one might expect.  AFAIK, '99 ST's had 18/43 stock gearing, 
all 00-01 Sprint's 19/43.  The ST in the above test included the factory 
hard bags (but not the top case). It appears they rounded up on the torque 
RPM's on one and down on the other (should both be 5250 right??).
