RE: [ST] FW: new Sprint ST review by ducati ST rider

[Bryce <bster13@xxxxxxxxx>]

They are merely equaling what the competition has in
the suspension dept whereas previous to this they were
using Damper rod front forks....Now they have a
catridge fork (ST3 is upside down, whoopie) with
preload adjustment.  If u want more adj., step to the
pricey ST4s or get a sportbikes.  

Honda Interceptor:
Front Suspension 43.0mm HMAS cartridge fork with
spring-preload adjustability; 4.3-inch travel 

Ducati ST3:
Front suspension Showa 43 mm upside-down adjustable
preload fork 

Sprint ST:
Front Suspension 43mm cartridge forks with dual rate
springs and adjustable preload
