That review was by Dirck Edge, who owns that website. He is a cool guy who I met in June 2002 when I was invited to participate in the two day press intro of the ST1300. I spent quite a bit of time with him and enjoyed his company over those two days. One time when our small group took off he was in front of me and I saw him do a wheelie on the ST. At the next stop I asked him if he had to slip the clutch to do that and he told me to just get it up to about 4k RPM and snap the throttle open. I tried that the next time we took off and up she came, much to my delight. During the next break I got on my cell phone and called my dealer, Niehaus Cycles and told the owner that I wanted the first ABS model they could get.
I recall Dirck telling me about how much he enjoyed riding the DL1000 on another press intro. He said he really enjoyed that style of bike and loved the engine. Sounds like he also enjoyed the Super Ten.
That is him on the right in this pic.
