[QUOTE="JT Pedersen, post: 963635, member: 27700"] I'm sure many of you may recall, Rider magazine did a special 'Sport Touring' section in the magazine for a year. It was essentially a magazine within a magazine. After it went away I had an email exchange with Tuttle (editor), lamenting it's being discontinued. He expressed mild dismay. Seemed they thought there'd be enough demand to continue it (or perhaps spin it off), but there just wasn't. If you look at the ST segment from a # units perspective, it actually is comparatively small. Wish i could remember the exact source, not too long ago I saw a production report indicating just under 10K units produced. At the time I could not tell if it was US-specific or worldwide. Regardless, 10,000 anything's not a large production run. The small units involved helps explain the long life cycles of machines like the ST, FJR, and Concours. Build 'em, tweak 'em, and sell 'em until the tooling's paid for<g>. [/QUOTE]
