RE: [ST] but I could see my Sprint RS becoming a Daytona 600 and an updated Speedmaster.

The TBS has the 885cc T3, which I think the regular Thunderbird had as
well but tuned differently.  The TBS is more of a naked sportbike in a
standard styling, but then that styling thing is totally subjective.  And
I think this may be the last year for the old T3 engine due to emissions
regs?  Personally I didn't like the Speedmaster nor the America's styling
not to mention the name Speedmaster is a little bit assuming for a 790cc
twin cruiser! ;^{D
