Actually they did mention the RS in the ST section. And the CED does
have a (I think beef'd up) SSSA. The normal one does not.
If they had about 10-20 more HP and weighted about 10 or so lbs less I
would say you where wrong, but since the bike is not a GSXR1000, 954rr,
9r, R1 beeter, that is to say it is not a UJSB, it should have character
above and beyond the call of duty. And there a SSSA would help. Just
something about a SSSA and a high or centre mount exhaust that just
screems style. IMNSHO of course.
I guess the problem is, the new litre class bikes are starting to become
works of art in their own right. the R1 is gorgeous, to bad I could do a
500 mile day on one.
