Re: [St] New spec for 2008 1050 ST

["Jeremy Witt" <jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm right there with you, Nate.  I don't anticipate ever needing more
than the 100 hp in my 2001.  

I wonder if we will see the ST morph into the new Trophy and start
competing with ST1300s and the like?  Wasn't the VRF800 the old
"target"?  

BMW's FS800ST looks better and better, assuming I ever tire of the ST.

Onec again I'd just like to explain my disdain for the rumored larger 
motor.  I don't know about any of the rest of you but my now-puny 955cc 
RS has more than enough grunt for my tastes.  Not to mention the better 
fuel economy compared to the newer models, cheaper insurance, etc, etc.

I think an 800cc ST on a bit of a diet would be much sweeter.
