>One other topic - power. I haven't seen any official reports of

>
> Measured Measured 1/4 Mile Top gear Fuel
> HP Torque roll on Mileage
>'00 RS 93.6@9250 61.5@5250 11.76@xxxxx 4.77 34
>'99 ST 102.8@9250 65.2@5250 11.53@xxxxx 3.83 45
Rider Magazine stats:
'00 RS 98.1@9500 64.8@5300 N/A 4.05 48.5
'99 ST 101.3@9500 64.6@5200 N/A 4.06 43
It should also be noted '99 ST's had 18/43 gearing (I think), '00 RS's and
ST's have 19/43 stock. Makes no sense to me that Triumph would go out of
their way to "detune" the RS but anythings possible I s'pose. FWIW, I did
not notice a difference (power-wise) when I test rode both back to back
(both were '00's). Anybody aware of published dyno results of an '00 or '01
ST?
