Power Diff?



>One other topic - power.  I haven't seen any official reports of
>differences (Triumph web site), but does the ST make more power (and
>torque) than the RS? From the March issue of Motorcyclist:
>
>          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?
