RE: [ST] Not trumpet related, but it was a good letter to the editor.



Don't worry.  They're all just jealous.  I am. ;-)

I have a Sprint RS and now dream of the day a get my fire breathing 1000cc 180 HP beast.  Squid? No.  Just another, like you, whose skill level is rising and wanting more (i.e. a bike more capable than I am).  Without dumping $$$$ at my RS to better the front and rear suspension, I'm getting to the point where my level is more capable than the bikes, and I don't like that.
I mean, what about $1000 for a new rear shock and at least $400 to rebuild my existing front fork guts, more if I want new forks.

The bad name comes from the ignorant/inexperienced buying something like that as their first bike and getting themselves killed.

Like everyone else I'm getting wood over the GSX-R, and being in my  50s, that's 
saying something.  But given the disparity between bike and  rider competence, 
Suzuki might want to add vultures to its accessory  catalog."
