I took advantage of the show this weekend, too, and sat on both 
the ST and the RS.  Since I had not had an opportunity to sit on 
the RS (none in the showrooms, yet), this was a golden 
opportunity to try both.

The only difference I could see was that the clip-ons on the RS are 
about 1/2" - 3/4" lower than those on the ST.  Otherwise, I also felt  
that there was no real difference between the two.

Yes!  It is a beautiful color!  I'm not the type to ride a machine 
painted that color (I'm not that bold), but I have to say that the 
Lucifer Orange (which is really a red-orange, to my eyes) is one of 
the prettiest colors I've ever seen.  The Triumph web page, which 
tries to show the colors, does not do it justice.  I chose the Eclise 
Blue, which also does not show well on the web page.  I was 
happy to see that there was a Tiger in Eclipse Blue at the show so 
I could get a good look at it; I like it!

Thanks!
