Re: [ST] HD hatred

My buddy has a 1200 Daytona - I've ridden it few times and really like it.  
Not nearly as nimble as the Sprint but the engine is pretty potent.  
Interestingly, it reminds me a lot of the '86 ZX1000 Ninja I had.  Even to 
the point of some of the parts looking exactly identical.  Anyone know if 
Triumph had some kind of relationship with Kawi in the manufacture of the 
1200?
