[ST] Dos Equis
A question for y'all: how do the 60-80mph roll on times between the ST and
> CBR XX compare? I've heard the XX doesn't really wake up until after 5500
> RPM. Has anyone ridden the XX and the ST - how would you compare the
> power/engine?
Sorry to burst the bubbles, but an Dos Equis will blow the doors off the ST
any time, anywhere, any gear. Power wise, there just is no comparison. I
have ridden the Dos Equis and the Hayabusas and they just are in a different
class than the ST. But, I own an RS because I prefer it to either of those
other two. Horsepower ain't everything. I could go on and on about the Dos
Equis' superiority, but as I said, the money went on the RS. There's a lot
to be said about "character". And light weight, and better handling. And
"character"! Do you even notice a Dos Equis even going down the street? But,
don't get me wrong, I do like those other two bikes--it's just not where I
would put my money.
