for Barry - upgrade to Sprint

[don draper <donnydogood@xxxxxxxx>]

 >>> I don't mind sacrificing a bit of comfort for better handling
(and a bigger safety margin). As long as it's not a bone-shaker? <<<

    I found the RS faster, smoother (that was a surprise), with
better handling and brakes than the VFR800 on a full days ride.  

 >>> most of my riding is actually solo on country lanes. How's the
RS pillion position? <<<

    The passenger accomodations are noticably more cramped than on
the VFR; my DC, being a very small person, found it bearable enough
that I had to scrape her shoes to make sure she wouldn't want to go
again.

    When you get the bars right, the RS is very comfortable for the
rider and the seat (unbelievably for Triumph) is the most comfortable
stock seat I've ever sat on. The ones on the T-3 Sprints I always
believed to be sourced from KTM's motocross stock!

                                      Have fun;
