[ST] for Nathan - destiny of the RS



 >>>Triumph didn't even bother to import it into the states for '03
because of the number of left-over '02s <<<

    Surprisingly, because the new engine makes the '02 a more
desirable bike,... at least to me!

 >>> in Europe they added the single sided swing arm <<<

    That will cancel out most of the handling advantage of the RS
over the ST.  The additional unsprung weight of the single-sided
swing arm really mucks up the handling and makes it hard to set-up.

    I'm thinking it's time to buy an '02 RS for a long-term keeper.
