[ST] '05 ST forks & brakes?

["Ken Mitchell" <kp.mitchell@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, after seeing the photos from the dealer's meeting in England, I saw
those 2 ST's had upside-down forks with radial-mounted brakes. One close-up
of the blue one with the GPS mount on it clearly showed damping adjuster
screws in the fork caps. That's one upgrade to the suspension that most of
us have been screaming for years now.

Unfortunately, the specs on the same site listed forks as "preload
adjustment", no mention of damping adjustment. Than today, after viewing the
site Jack had pointed us to, I see standard forks and brakes, no signs of
damping adjusters!

This has turned me right off from selling my 2000 RS and buying a new ST. :|

What's the REAL DEAL on this new ST? If you ask me, the increased price and
tiny upgrade in HP and torque do NOT entice me one bit, only the sharper
looks. And to me, it's just not worth the expense of a new ride. Who knows
for SURE what Triumph is going to sell?

Disapprovingly yours,
