additional ground clearance would mean a sacrifice in comfort, and since the 
RS/ST was never intended as a track weapon, I am afraid that you've made and 
uninformed and incorrect choice in motorcycles.

>If you aren't arguing this, just what are you arguing?

I am merely pointing out that if you can't ride the bike in its intended 
environment (the street) without scraping the pegs, you need a riding lesson 
or two -- and that I have proven time and time again that quick turns-ins 
and proper throttle control allow the RS/ST and many other bikes to be run 
on a track or in the street in tight canyons, at high speeds, without 
hanging-off and without shaving off the peg feelers. Racing is another 
matter, and the RS/ST would be a poor choice for many reasons.

If you want to continue cajoling this old grandma, take it off-list so we 
don't bore the poor people with my continued victories.
