[ST] July Rider

["Big Riff" <big_riff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The July issue of Rider just appeared in my mailbox - There's a full test of 
the new ST.  It's even on the cover!  They seem to like the bike and think 
it's an improvement over the previous generation.  A couple of surprising 
things though - They mention less wind protection then before and their test 
unit averaged only 36 mpg.  This is a pretty big difference from my '01 - my 
low fuel light usually comes on around 190 - 200 miles, their '05 had the 
light coming on 115 and 140 miles.  I guess the bumped up displacement and 
horsepower increase can account for some of that, but it still seems pretty 
low.
