RE: [ST] New Daytona

["Joel Ashman" <joel.ashman@xxxxxxxx>]

IMHO, I'm not digging it.  Looks like a Kaw from the front, and a Suzuki
from the rear.  I know that that folks call the ST's looks 'uninspired' or
'plain' but I never thought that.  Unfortunatly, that is what I think of
when I look at the first pics of the Daytona.  They are trying to hard to be
like the competion, instead of being better (or different).  That is why I
bought my ST.  It is different, and better.

Bummer about the rear swing arm too.  I hope it doesn't go away on the S3.
New engine would be nice though!

I'll hold final judgement until I see one in person.  Not that I'd ever buy
one either.  Too uncomfortable for my size.
