[ST] A Trophy not a Sprint ST

["Mike Benzon" <fast87@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know we have been all over this topic, but I haven't heard this view of
the Yamaha. I think we are mistaken to compare this to our ST's, this Yamaha
fits the same slot as the Trophy. I don't see Triumph redesigning our ST's
to go head to head with the Yamaha, I see them redesigning the Trophy to go
head to head. Everything about the new Yamaha reminds me of what the next
generation Trophy will be, bigger motor, shaft drive, adjustable windscreen,
higher pulled back bars. I don't want Triumph to alter the direction of the
ST to compete with this Yamaha. I believe there are two distinct classes of
Sport Tourers and the Sprint ST and Trophy clearly define that.
