Re: [ST] New ST??

[Erik Miner <eeminer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's been my gripe. The others BMW , Ducati, Honda, and the others keep 
improving and tweaking their offerings, while Triumph keeps adding chrome 
to the cruisers.. well that's not really fair :-)  the Thruxton is pretty 
new, sort of.. And of course the Rocket is all new, but that's not what 
floats my boat. Anyone read the review of the Ducati ST4s/abs in MCN?  Man 
if they didn't have those expensive 6K mile valve adjustments, I'd think 
about selling my K1200RS...  And of course BMW is gonna have the new K1200S 
in the fall..Humm
