Re: [ST] Triumph: shaft driven

[Dave <dbardell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I am ready for a shaft drive from Triumph in either a sport-tourer or a 
Touring-Sport.  Something like a lighter weight Trophy with adj. 
suspension and shaft drive.  I was waiting for an FJR,  but when Yamaha 
decided that we didn't need it over here last year, I bought a Sprint ST 
and couldn't be happier.  

But if Triumph brings out a shaft drive sporty bike, I may decide my 
garage will hold two Triumphs...  
But I think the first "shafty" from Triumph will be the 2.3 (yea, now 
it's rumored to be a 2.3) cruiser.
