Well, I haven't done the drag racing scene on the ST (used to do it on my 
'70 H1, but that's a whole 'nother story)....BUT Motorcyclist "hard numbers" 
has the Sprint-ST ('01) at 11.52 @ 117.03mph.  But of course that is their 
"best" result, in optimal conditions, using a professional rider, and on a 
bike tuned by factory guys just for the testing.  I would say your ~real 
world~ results are quite respectable, Barry.  Now, go out there and get it 
under 12 sec, OK???   :)))

(wondering why they haven't done an '02+ with the additional HP??  Might 
embarrass the others??)
