2001 ST

["Craig & Kimberly Kemp" <crkemp@xxxxxxxxx>]

ST owners,

I will be picking up a 2001 Sapphire Blue ST within the next week, and I
have
2 questions for you.

    1. What color are the wheels on your bike? The 2000 blue ST's had black
        wheels, and my 2001 came out of the crate with the same silver color
        wheels as on the Daytona and Speed Triple. I am actually very
pleased
        with that,  but I was wondering if that was a US 2001 model year
change.

    2. I am aware of the production variances and inconsistencies with rear
        wheel dynos, but is there an explanation for the >10% difference in
        magazine reported HP and torque figures? Sport Rider, Cycle World,
        and Motorcyclist (US) all reported ~102 HP and ~65 lb. ft. at the
        rear wheel, while Motorcycle Consumer News (US), and Performance
        Bike (UK) show ~89 HP and ~59 lb. ft. at the rear wheel.

Thanks in advance,

- ---  Craig Kemp
