[ST] Are we being taken for granted?

["jay levine" <levine98@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Seeing the 2002 spec Sprint ST on the motorcycle.com web site really 
depressed me and got me to thinking that Triumph takes their customers for 
granted--why else hasn't Triumph put .02 cents of improvements into the 
Sprint ST since its introduction (pls, don't kid yourself with "its already 
perfect" argument).

While the new engine upgrade is significant in a vacuum, it simply shows the 
weakness of of Triumph's "modular design strategy", since the Sprint ST's 
engine is the one area needing the little attention.

To my knowledge, there have been zero to very few product upgrades since its 
introduction (i.e., in the suspension, styling, overall user experience).  
There is still a scarce number of after market upgrades for the Triumph, and 
Triumph doesn't seem to be working very hard on that either.

If it were not for my wife pointing out to me the recent disruptions in the 
stock market and its affect on my early retirement plans, I'd be a Ducati 
ST4s customer....
