RE: [ST] What's the Sprint's current competition?

Always a shame that damn money thing gets in the way :-)   And FWIW the 
Beta testers for the new K are having some issues with low speed wobble 
from the front end.. as with ANY BMW always best to wait a year or 3 till 
BMW gets things sorted. And for 06 there will be a new K1200GT based on the 
S with bigger full sized panniers, slightly higher bars, and I'll bet 
cruise control and heated seat...  Me thinks that maybe the baby  :-)))) In 
the mean time I'll just keep putting along on my new ST1300abs....
