[ST] Reliability, Buy anothe? - UK Ride magazine result



Hi All

Not sure if this has been up before or not, sorry if its duplicated... but I 
just got hold of the annual survey conducted by RIDE magazine on what owners 
think of their bikes.  Ride is a motorcycle consumer magazine, and they some 
10,000 people took part and for Triumph I think the results are pretty good.

The survey ended up with 122 bikes with a large enough sample to classify, 
and the Sprint RS came in at 28 with an average 80.27%, The Daytona came in 
at 20 with 81.31%, th ST 18 at 81.45% and best of all the TT600 (2000 on) 
came in 4th at 84.58%.

To put it in perspective that the VFR800 was 21st, the goldwing 25th., the 
R1 30th., the Ducati ST2/St4/ST4s was 40th.  (top was Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer)

The classification for the ST was (out of 5 stars)

Build Quality 4
Engine 4
Handling 4
Comfort 4
Pillion 4
Brakes 4
gearbox 2
Equipment 3
backup 4
Reliability 4
Economy 5
Wind Protection 4

Every Daytona owner said they WOULD buy their bike again!

The TT600 has handling only bettered by Ducati 916/996/998

Its good to know what mr. & Mrs. Real Biker think as opposed to journalists.

Anyway, thought you'd all enjoy reading this
