RE: [ST] Sprint vs CBR XX (Blackbird)

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

How does the riding position compare (reach to bars, height of bars,
foot peg location, etc)?

Just checking.

I've wriden the blackbird. An 04 model. Very niec in a barge sort of
way. It
makes the ST feel very nimble. It is not as fast as Honda would have you
believe. Faster than the ST. The Blackbird is about 127BHP at the back
wheel.
My mates (who owns the bike) missus still complained of a sore bum after
we
rode to Switzerland last year. In summary it is a very capable bike from
the
mid nineties that is now looking a bit dated.  You might or might not
like the
linked brakes.
