Faran2, I think you misread my post I was saying that they lowered the price BY $2,000 which should appeal to more people. Heck if they priced it at $2,000 I'd buy one for every day of the week!
(And I was just stirring the pot saying that they might quit making them. I really think that they are trying to lure in more entry level (=younger) riders with the hope that someday they will move up to the ST or RT)
