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??)
