The funny thing about all this is, what I read about the RS is that it is
more sporty and can be more fun to ride in the twisties... However, yes,
the "hard numbers" did show it to have a few less ponies... But so
what. They are both Triumphs with virtually the same engine. I personally
just like the ST because it had full fairings and is a little more
comfortable for me. They are both great bikes and that is the important
thing!!!!
