RE: [ST] for Simon - size matters

["Heyer, Matthew A." <mheyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

The RS is somewhat faster due to lighter weight, stiffer swing arm,
sharper steering angle...

However, as we all know, the rider makes much more difference than the
bike.  So especially in this case, the small differences in the bikes
are really negligible when compared to the ability of the rider.

The 04 RS that I received had the same tires as on my 02 ST which are
BT057's.  The frames are a smidge different (different part numbers
according to Triumph customer service in Atlanta due to a slight
difference in stearing head angle).  As far as which
outhandles which, I think that depends on who's sitting it. The RS feels
quicker into the turn but I'm not sure whether that is fact or feel.
