[ST] Dos Equis

["bare" <barenekd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 A question for y'all: how do the 60-80mph roll on times between the ST and
> CBR XX compare?  I've heard the XX doesn't really wake up until after 5500
> RPM.  Has anyone ridden the XX and the ST - how would you compare the

Sorry to burst the bubbles, but an Dos Equis will blow the doors off the ST
any time, anywhere, any gear. Power wise, there just is no comparison. I
have ridden the Dos Equis and the Hayabusas and they just are in a different
class than the ST. But, I own an RS because I prefer it to either of those
other two. Horsepower ain't everything. I could go on and on about the Dos
Equis' superiority, but as I said, the money went on the RS. There's a lot
to be said about "character". And light weight, and better handling. And
"character"! Do you even notice a Dos Equis even going down the street? But,
don't get me wrong, I do like those other two bikes--it's just not where I
would put my money.
