Re: [St] Rejoining the Fold?

["Bill Pitt" <billpitt3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mornin Lisa,
   I live in Connecticut and have had a 1200 Trophy, 03 955 ST, and I'm now 
on a 06 1050 ST. In between I had two V Max's, and FJR 1300, and two ST 4 
Ducati's.  The new Sprint/ABS is a nice combination af all of them.  It 
handles almost as well as the ST 4's but it's maintaince is so much better, 
it more solid than the Duc's like the 1200 Trophy and the FJR, it has power 
everywhere like the V Max with much more on top end and great wind 
protection. The new Tiger is a great choice but it's tall and the right bag 
is small.  It's easier to service the Tiger than the Sprint and if you're on 
a back dirt road and drop it there isn't all the plastic to replace. The 
Sprint with a Wolf exhaust is as pretty as it gets and the sound is 
outragious. Neither of the two have hard bags that hold a full face helmet, 
that pisses me off but in general I'm very pleased. Happy enough that 2 
friends bought 07 Sprints after riding mine and just got back from a week on 
the road from Connecticut thru Rhode Island, Massatwoshits, New Hampshire, 
Maine, and around Nova  Scotia and back, a perfect ride. It's a tough choice 
but I've been very pleased with Triumph.
good luck
