re: ST pricing

[Erik Miner <axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Guess I got lucky.. I paid $11k out the door, with freight and prep, 
including the two pannier set and heated grips, installed. I did take 
a 99 instead of a 2000 but the price would have been the same, I just 
didn't want to wait 2 months for a black 2000 (September of 99) .. 
could have had a blue one but I really wanted the fastest color ;-)
