99 ST questions...

["Ian Hallihan" <ian_hallihan@xxxxxx>]

Sprint owners...

I just bought the  99 ST..
Big leap of faith for me..

So far I love it.....only 138 miles..

Questions for the new owners...

I haven't purchased a new bike in over 20 years
and the dealer/manufacturer suggests following the
break-in recommendations... If I listen to my friends,
they tell me that "NEW" engines are bullet proof and I
should drive it from "day one" like I would normally drive
it, I'm not so sure this is the way to break in the ST
and am torturing myself now by not going over 5krpm.
Any input would be appreciated....

I purchased the black ST with the exhaust option and the 
tank bag. The dealer tells me that the bike is 108bhp stock
but Cycle World says 100 bhp. If I've added the pipe, how
much bhp have I REALLY added and has anyone put the ST 
on the dyno to prove that measurement??...

Also, please give me good/rave or bad/recall input on this
bike. I am SO impressed with the torque and power of the
ST...BUT I'm also concerned with the quality in general of
the bike..

All your input will be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Thanks..
