[ST] Re: [Hbgrat] 'A Dashing Sprint' (new ST's styling reviewed)

[Dave Bardell <dbardell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

RATS,

I liked the article on the diesel sport bike -- a 445 pound 3 cylinder 
that they hope to have generating approx. 100 HP and 145 ft/lbs of 
torque.  Triumph should make arrangements to offer this in a Sport 
Tourer/Touring Sport model.  Respectable horse power and with torque 
ratings equal to the Rocket III in a package that delivers approx 98 MPG 
would definitely get attention.. 

No valve adjustments required --EVER!!!! and you could pull into a truck 
stop and park next to the big rigs :-)
