Re: [ST] Triumph to WSBK?

And let's hope that 955 race engine development trickles down to the rest of
us.

I mean, look at all the cam, stroke and bore kits, etc that there are for
the Japanese I-4.  Then maybe someday down the road, when the current motor
is old and tired, there will be some options for a "performance" rebuild for
more power, yet still have the comfort of the bike.

And now that I have a new rear tire on the bike, I remember why this bike
and I were beginning to feel as one way back before it went in for the fuel
problem.
