Re: [ST] The RS Rips!

[Chad Palenshus <palenshus@xxxxxxxx>]

The funny thing about all this is, what I read about the RS is that it is 
more sporty and can be more fun to ride in the twisties...  However, yes, 
the "hard numbers" did show it to have a few less ponies...  But so 
what.  They are both Triumphs with virtually the same engine.  I personally 
just like the ST because it had full fairings and is a little more 
comfortable for me.  They are both great bikes and that is the important 
thing!!!!
