Re: The Perfect ST-- My Dream

["Jon Stiffler" <jonstiffler@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

<This is what it'll be: The current model as it
is now with the Daytona motor, not de-tuned by a straight swap .. an
ST with 130hp! Next give it the Daytona's fully adjustable cartridge
front forks, ( maybe with a sleeker front fender, and maybe in carbon
fibre) and a fully adjustable rear shock. >


Great idea Erik.  I have been following the suspension threads, and am 
preparing to do the race-tech front and maybe the Ohlins rear.  My burned up 
ST (fire at 13 days old) may yield up its motor for a Daytona rebuild.  Why 
should Triumph not offer these upgrades which would be very popular in 
another model?  The added cost for the upgrades we are dong would be cheaper 
in the model you suggest.
Only problems with your suggestions are 500 bikes would be insufficient, and 
black as the color.  They just got rid of the slow color.  I think a lighter 
green with gold or silver wheels would look smashing.
