Yeah, read that as well.  Funny how all the mags bag on the Sprint-ST 
"styling" when in reality all the cookie cutter sport bikes are the ones 
with uninspired styling IMHO.  I seriously can't tell an R6 from an R1 or 
any Gixxer from another.  Kawasakis look like Yamahas and Honda's sportbikes 
are all boring stylistically.  The Sprint OTOH still draws a crowd at almost 
every gas stop.  Maybe the motojournalist elite think it boring, but the 
general public sure seems to like the looks of the ST.

And yeah, the suspension is not state of the art, so what?  Still up to the 
abilities of 90% of riders, whether they would admit it or not.  It was cool 
to see our bikes featured as a good buy, even if that does mean less return 
on investment  :))
