Michael Neeves is the best thing that has happened in motorcycle journalism.
Agreed
We totally agree, of course!
Agreed
Yup
Yes indeed, Michael ,is excellent.
So glad you don't film with a potato anymore, The content and information has always been top notch but now the production quality has caught up. Michael Neeves is the best bike reviewer full stop.
No way! That Shawn guy from SRK cycles is the best reviewer!!!
6:09 Ducati Streetfighter V4 S
9:19 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS
11:49 Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory
14:42 BMW S1000R
18:03 KTM 1290 Super Duke R
21:23 The Verdict
YES, in that order. I own 18 tuono.
You the real MVP
Legend
I think we also need to consider the price of ownership. Just did the first desmo for my Ducati M821 & the bill was $2800. Not buying another Ducati. Parts for Aprilia where I live takes months to arrive. These are very real considerations when buying a bike which sometimes overshadow the price to buy.
As an owner of the 2019 Tuono Factory I agree with your ranking. Aprilia really didn’t need to do much to improve an almost perfect motorcycle. All they really need to do is expand their dealer network and they would sell a boatload of these! Bottom line is you can’t go wrong owning any of these motorcycles, they’re all special! Great comparison video!
Except, the Tuono is not really a naked bike
@@gggromay really, then what is it?
Lack of dealer network is the only thing that prevents me from getting a Tuono.
exactly how I feel…the dealership where I live is poorly run, and seems like it’s going to close its doors any day. If a good dealer ever picks up Aprilia, a Tuono will be in my garage.
@@gggromay Cut the fairning down a bit...there, a more "naked" bike fer ya.
Agree with the verdict, the tuono v4 1100 is by far the best bike I’ve ever owned with that been said if I had the money I’d quite happily have all of these beauties in the garage 😍
The people that disliked the Tuono should get their covid test, because one of the main symptoms is no taste.
Too much fairings for a naked… and for me 2 cylinders too much… ;-)
Boom
I like it! So I prolly don't have covid. It's not my favourite, but Aprilia sure makes hella good bikes
Lol, agreed, I just think it has too many fairings still, so I just have a hard time calling it a naked bike.
It's because they've never ridden one. Once you do that your ruined for life.
I've had a tuono, but wouldn't mind owning any of the others. The sound of the tuono is unbeatable. Despite the bikini fairing it is a striped rsv4, so rightly king of the nakeds.
Aprilia Tuono 1100 factory is awesome.
I've owned a Tuono Factory for about 5 years and it is an amazing bike with the best noise in all of motorcycling. But I'm getting a little older and I was getting tired of the touchy throttle and lack of control at low throttle settings. The Ducati Streetfighter solved that issue for me so this year I traded my TV4F for an SFSV4. I actually like the looks and design of the new Tuono better than the Streetfighter but from my position the Streetfigher is far more manageable and easier to ride without sacrificing any performance. Maybe someday I'll own another Tuono but right now I cant get enough of the Ducati, its a better bike for me.
Give me the KTM all day out of this group. Definitely looks like the most fun.
Bought 2018 tuono factory this june with 2k miles. love it, cant think of any other bike i would prefer. that sound, power, perfect suspension and frame, ok sitting position, electronic aids.... perfect
I enjoy this type of presentation over two or three men arguing for half hour from another channel. MCN definitely deserve more subs for the quality of work. Cheers.
Can only thought about one channel 😂😂
I disagree. I enjoy the conversation
100% agree Neeves the best, no attempt to be a comedian etc, just facts & honest review from someone whose cv can't be matched
As someone that just sold their naked and is in the market for another, this comparison is right on time. I’m interested in the Tuono more now but lack of dealerships within a reasonable drive to test ride and resale values are off putting. I’d like to be able to test ride all of these bikes to see which one suits my needs/wants best but this review definitely helps to make up for it.
I still want the Ducati Street Fighter V4....AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Love the great review!!!!
Did a test ride on a 2020 Tuono hands down the best bike I'd ever ridden, put a deposit on a 2018 Tuono in the same shop and traded my Monster 1200S, picked up the Tuono the next week, I've had a grin on my face ever since every ride is an event. What a bike!
Why would you ride a 2020, then buy a 2018? Lol
most bizarre thing of the Tuono is its beautiful exhaust sound even with the stock can. absolute pleasure to my ears
I own a 2017 Tuono Factory and a few months back I bought a Ducati Streetfighter V4S (Parked the Tuono due to the lack of parts required to do the schedule valve check, it only took 3 1/2 months). I couldn't agree more with this review. The Ducati is too polished, to the point that unless you are really pushing it can be boring but the built quality and quality of parts used is far superior to the Tuono. The Tuono always keeps you entertained, if not by the sound then by that front wheel always fighting to leave the ground. Love both bikes but to the surprise of a few at the last Ducati meet, The Tuono is the best bike I ever owned.
I’ve got 20k miles on my kawi never had to open the head once I plan on doing them at 32k miles…
What parts did you/they need? Hotcams shim kits are pretty available.
@@fostytou I bet it’s gaskets. Those bikes are such leaky pieces of junk I’ve never seen a brand new motorcycle leak coolant on a showroom floor til I saw an aprillia on a showroom floor
@@monkmoto1887 the coolant leak is the clickr clamp on the pancake pipe into the radiator if the bike was old (but doesn't sound like it). A common problem across many brands that use that style of clamp. If it was one of the early 2009 or 2010 bikes it could have been a weeping engine case which plagued a few of the early model bikes but was generally replaced under warranty immediately. I've been around a ton of them over the last decade and haven't seen any other common coolant or oil leaks. Maybe the reservoir was just overfilled during the PDI. Do you know where the key was from?
I've put about 70,000 miles on 2 Tuonos and haven't had a leak at all except for when my friend ran the oil pan into a giant boulder. That leak was pretty minor we still wrote it 1200 miles before I head to fix it.
I've reused the gaskets but you could always just throw RTV on the valve cover gasket or take the 20 minutes to change that gasket out later when it comes in. It shouldn't hold you up from doing a valve job or riding the bike.
@@monkmoto1887 I can't own a moto that cant supply spare parts. I been hearing this about Aprillia for over a decade. I would like to own one but hearing this hinders me.
Winner winner chicken dinner. I can’t imagine EVER selling my ‘17 Tuono. It’s best thing I own. Period. Until it starts giving me problems (it hasn’t), it’ll be in my garage.
SDR owner here - I agree with this review. The issues that Neeves raises are legitimate: you have to be in the mood for it; the switchgear could be better; electronics can be fiddly. I leave the electronics in 'performance' mode with anti-wheelie ON, else it will lift the front wheel everywhere. I am not interested in electronically adjustable suspension. That said: all these motorcycles are superb fun, and you can't go wrong.
That tuono sound is glorious.
Amazing content Neevesy and MCN. Thank you.
Almost picked up a Ducati streetfighter v4 but got myself a Tuono factory again (-21) Love this bike!
Funny, I also went to the dealer to buy a Streetfighter but I bought a Tuono Factory instead. It's the best bike I've ever ridden.
You made the right choice.
Go Tuono (again), this news makes me happy :)
own a 2017 tuono factory best bike i have ever had and I have had the LOT
next bike will definitely be the 2021 tuono ! This guy knows his bikes
Definitely the best bike tester out there ! Period
Superlative review, well done MCN crew! Thank you for the effort. Ciao.
Well done Micheal ,At 75 years I have had many bikes including 7 Tuono,s Factorys 5 v4 and two v twins the workmanship and dealer backup has always been superb from four different dealership wherever I could get the best deal,my 2021 is the best yet ,there are one or two for £16500 still available great review as usual .
superb review! thank you once again, always a great pleasure to watch your reviews and analysis! greetings from Still Bay South Africa!
Superb to see a group test again, great stuff and I look forward to the future ones.
More on the way...
You all owe to yourself to ride these bikes for more than 10 miles to see if it fits your needs. As a current 890R and Speed 1200 RS owner, I was looking for a motorcycle that would be an “event” to ride on the road (200 -400 mile backroads) and on the track (do nearly 3000K a year on the track). I weigh about 200 pounds without Kit and find the Speed very compliant overall and the 890R needed stiffer front cartridges. The Ducati spends its life in 2nd gear and sometimes 3rd gear and difficult to use/enjoy on public roadways. The Aprilia is a glorious bike but that heat and the urge to go fast never quits (lethal track bike). The Italian bikes have absolutely no fuel range. The BMW is the best Japanese bike made in Europe - sorry but it is not a super naked. The 1290R is an exceptional road bike, a true riot to ride but I wanted something more focused for the track and I didn’t want to spend money on updating the Duke for the track. Frankly the 890 Duke R will terrorize all these bikes on the road and I have yet to have been out lapped on it by any of these bikes at the track. I chose the Triumph bc it has stellar build quality, aesthetic appeal, sound road/touring manners and will and kick some serious arse at track as well with no extra fiddling or cash investment. On the move, it feels like a 400 pound bike (kid you not!) and it will cost you a lot of money to replicate this lithe feeling with the others. Again, ride them all and see which one meets your needs and have at it. Cheers.
Just fitted the Racefit exhaust to my new 1200 Speed OMG it's amazing, I love this bloody bike and the handling 👌👌👌
What do you think of 890R vs 1200RS just for street riding? I went with the Triumph as I couldn't score a ride on the KTM.
Thanks for the feedback! I've got 3 sportbikes at the moment and will lose one, probably an R1M, for my next bike. Her Street Triple is 90% of what I want in a motorcycle, and our rides tend to go 160-180 miles. One of the things I hate about my bikes is that I go empty at around 105 miles when at speed with the "the boys", a little more when I ride with my wife. How far does the Speed go on a tank? Is the gas gage accurate? Are the electronics as intrusive as they say?
And how hard is it on tires? One of the things I love about her Street is that it doesn't eat tires.... I go thru a rear like an RS10 in about 1800-2000 miles and the fronts don't usually make it to the normal "replace it every other rear tire" interval I used to get away with.
Maybe I should just get a Street Triple of my own?
i never rode any of these but on the oad i am sure i would put my money on bikes like 890 against these. 1000+cc is just not usable on the road. lugging a superbike at around 60 miles shouldnt be as much fun as carving corners full throttle with even a 250cc bike
I've ridden the top 3, and will take the Super Duke all day... I'm quite tall (195cm/6'4"), so I find it fits me well compared to the tiny Tuono. That said, it really is the most fun of all the bikes. Sure, the Aprillia sounds great and the Ducati is really pretty and faaaaaast, but the LC8 is a special engine and there simply isn't a bike on this list that will make you smile more than the SDR.
I’ve just got off a BMW S1000 RR. I looked at all of these bikes and bought the KTM Superduke 1290 R. Absolutely love this bike. I can chuck the Mrs on the back and it’s so comfortable. Horses for courses I suppose, but I don’t agree with your verdict though. Great review keep them coming.
How is the reliability going so far?
I'm getting my 2020 1290R tomorrow 😊
Best bike review video I’ve ever watched. Thank you so much.
I opted for a brand new tuono factory. The day I picked it up it went into limp mode and did every time I rode for a week. Took it back to be fixed and it kept doing it!!! After a big row I got my money back and bought a superduke which is a proper bundle of crazy fun and hasn’t missed a beat. I think the S22bridgestones are a great road tyre. Might be lagging a bit on track but this won’t ever go on track, I have a track bike for that. When you are riding round the alps in the wet you will be glad you aren’t on super corsas!!!! And they have a huge dry pace that is more than good enough for the road. It’s good for 500 mile days too.. and I’m an old man!!!!
I’m disappointed the Aprilia didn’t work out as I’d always fancied one but it’s put me off for good.
But these bikes are so good , I’d say buy the one you think looks cool and fits your budget!!!( apart from the Tuono 😂)
Great review. Many thanks! A part 2 comparison with these bikes on a racetrack would be fantastic..🙏
Fantastic review. I've recently become a proud owner of a 2020 tuono v4 1100 Factory and it is by far the best bike I've ever owned! Its so confidence inspiring, much faster on the road than my R1M I recently sold. I was planning on the 2021 factory, although it is a gorgeous looking bike, I am not convinced with colour choice (same thoughts to the RSV4) and lack of carbon
Just an update, The SDR electronics on the gen 1 bikes needed to be reset at every startup, but the newer models do start with the settings they were previously on. The review was entertaining and does provide useful insight, keep them coming.
I still believe that KTM is one of few naked bikes build from the ground up, not a super bike modified, also I wonder if they will release a V4 in the near future seeing that they compete against V4's would be interesting to see what that will be like as they are great with the twin. Great review.
Hope they stay with V-twins!
@@spenkystar If they decide to go V4 hopefully the V twin will still be available, it is a great engine
I hope they keep it a V twin and increase displacement or go forced induction. The big torque is its signature.
2020 SDR owner here, yes that engine is a honeypot. The torque is so addictive.
A V4 with a supercharger!!!!
Hi, as an owner of a Streefighter V4s I can only agree to your findings. Great video! All bikes are top level but it really depends how the owner wants to ride them. Kudos Aprilia, well done.
Outstanding comparo review as usual Neevsy. Considering the fact that I don't have a track within cooee of my town, I reckon the new Triumph Speed Twin should satisfy my occasional requirement to be a hooligan. Thanks again mate.
Thank you so much for this video how fortunate you are to be able to use all those bikes beautiful
Neevesy is the best tester on TH-cam period. Great test chaps. The Tuono sound cannot be beaten. It's always been the one to aim for [by the other manufacturers]. The Ducati is the super model of the bunch with stunning looks and poise. Money no object I would take the Streetfighter. I don't care much for the looks of the KTM but it does have a great motor. The Zh2 SE is not here but as a mental road bike it's hard to beat. It accelerates like nothing else here and always puts a grin on your face. We really are spoilt for choice these days. You pay your money and take your choice.
I pick up my 2021 Tuono Factory this weekend. I can't wait!!
I went with a Streetfighter V4S 2021 after a test ride on a Superduke . Compared to my previous bike (BMW s1000RR) I found the Streetfighter to be a bit flat at low revs . It is frustrating around town at constant throttle all jerky and slapping chain, on and off the throttle on a second gear junctions can be a challenge.
Once out on the open road and it is a different beast , it just makes you rev it , the thing flies , incredible handling. With the Acro exhaust fitted and a racing map it is even better .
I am enjoying the bike even with the frustrating road manners at slow speed .
It is my first bike with upright bars for many years, but at 62 years of age I thought I should grow up a bit .
It's YOUR life, dude. Do what you want to do. If you like a certain bike you should ride it regardless of your age or what anyone else thinks about it.
Thank you Mr. Neeves for yet another quality and in depth review. I'm sure it was a real bother to ride all these beauties around for the day!!? :)
Video just began. No clue as to which will come out on top - did Triumph do enough? We'll see. Regardless, I was pretty freakin' happy when I saw the video title. Cheers to Mr. Neevesy and MCN ;) On with the show...
Thanks for the great comparison. Can't wait for your 2021 superbike shootout Michael.
It was close against the SDR, but I bought the Tuono based on your last review and launch, and I agree it’s so addictive and the discipline you need on the road is mind blowing, with the Akra the soundtrack is now my ringtone, having toured on it, it is a true work of art….thanks Michael
My mouth is watering...you mean you have improved the song this thing sings with the stock can? It's the best sounding stock motorcycle I've EVER heard!
Thank you very much for a honest review of this fantastic super naked bikes,But and But I still love my 2020 Super Duke R….
Great review and couldn’t agree more. The Tuono is fantastic 👍
What an enthralling review, I was gona get the bmw, the tuono just launched in where I'm living perfect timing With the review THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. Neeves, it hasn't been that long since I started riding 20s
That triumph is so stunning tho 😍
Nice one Michael. Great new presentation.
I have a 2019 Tuono and I can't stop riding it because it is so much fun. It's just over a year old and I have 12,922 miles on it with 10 track days and I live in Michigan with 4 months of winter. It's the most fun bike I've ever rode.
Another amazing review! I just can't get my head around the design/aesthetics of the Aprilla. I think the BMW or Streetfighter will be next for me.
Such a great analysis. I’d love to have them all! Can’t wait to see the M1000R update as it’s almost like they saw this video and put the shiftcam engine in to answer the call.
When Mr Neeves said, "The BMW is the best road bike" that was good enough for me to go and buy one!
hi, did you buy one and how is it
@@iansmith232 Yes I did and very happy. Now running restrictor has been removed even better! Great dealer back up with 3 years warranty
After nearly three years of riding the Speed triple 1200RS. I would say that its comfortable an I use it for Roud Trips. But I added a riser for the handlebars. That changed a lot.
Lamb Chop managed to dial out the stiffness on the Speed Triple. Great review, thanks for posting.
or maybe you wanted to believe he did. You don't think Neevysy knows how to set up a comfortable suspension set up for street?? I mean i wanted to believe lamb chop too but was hoping that this guy confirmed that fiddling with suspension would make it more streetable, spring rates are simply too stiff...end off!
@@MrNufzed No skin in this game. I asked him directly in the comments and he confirmed that for his purposes he had got it as compliant as he wanted it.
You do need to dial back the Speed Suspension, I had it acceptable but its sporty still. Main drawback for me was limiting electronics and resetting when turned it on and off
@@Gorbyrev Keywords "for his purpose" and "as he wanted" so did he get it comfortable or just better, don't know don't care, I just enjoy pointing these things out.
@@LambChopRides The spring rates are still too stiff for the road chops.
Great film. These bikes are all a bit hardcore for me, but I enjoyed following your thought process. And nice to see V engines dominating the top spots. Inline fours remind me too much of cars.
Soo proud to own the best super naked bike on the planet :) Mine is 5 years old with 33 000 kms without any issues. I love this thing!
The Boss has spoken.Thanks.
calling the aprilia a naked kinda feels like being told there's a naked supermodel in the closet, and finding out she's wearing a bathing suit. Still nice, but she ain't naked.
Why closet why not bedroom ,car, house, hotel room, or garage, closet sounds like you might want to dive deeper into this , see if they're any toys in the attic
To me, that small fairing on the Tuono is a big plus; I don't like being blown around by the windblast.
Naked ain’t what it used to be.
It's an awesome bike, but it ain't naked.
@@Unclefacts You're entitled to your opinion, but why would you be against a 1/2 fairing that deflects the windblast while still giving good engine access for maintenance?
Ya spot on Micheal that aprilia is just incredible and better than the v4s .. I’m blown away
I have a 21 SDR. Being 6’3 it’s by far the best for me. Beyond comfortable
I agree with you on paying extra for the electronics is asinine, but the buttons are easy to use. Also has the programmable toggle on the right hand to quickly turn everything off. It takes a task that takes 65 seconds down to 5
My biggest complaint on the SDR is by far the electric gas cap. PITA if you don’t know how to open it lol
Cue lots of disgruntled owners of the others to say Neevsy got it wrong etc etc but I, like many others trust his reviews and vast experience and given I am going to shell out on one of these next spring I very much value these tests. Nice one Neevsy and Tuono here I come!
I ride smaller bike, a 2018 street triple 765rs so this review is really not for me atm. But, i have to say that your presentation and this review in general is top notch. What a great channel.
Amazing review as always!! I ride a 2020 Speed Triple S and for me, it’s the perfect road bike!!
I have a '19 in white and I'm inclined to agree. It does everything soooo well and I look forward to every ride with no trepidation. I traded an MT09 for it and haven't missed the Yam (though that MT triple engine is a great piece of work!).
This crop of super nakeds are just a bit "over the top" for me... but I'd love to own all of them!
@@fido0825 Which MT09 did you have? I just sold my gen 2 and am looking at either getting the Gen 3 SDR or the 1050 Speed RS
Get the Speed3 : I just picked up a lightly used 2017 "R" and absolutely love the thing.
In the end, the ranking is not important but your highlighting the (subtle) differences. With that info everyone can make their own ranking. Well done!
Fanstatic reviews, best video and thanks for being the most comprehensive review channel! Well doner MCM.
Fantastic work MCN lot 👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much 😀
The S1000R is the best bike here; like Neevesy said it's the best road bike of the 5, and that's why you buy a naked bike - to ride on the road. It's just not a hypernaked, it doesn't belong in this group. If you need the hypernaked bragging rights the Aprilia is definitely the most complete of the remaining 4. Good luck with any kind of warranty claim, though.
yes!!! Tuono 6 years in a row. Awesome!
great reveiw mate!
Don't even need to watch to know which one comes out on top with Neeves reviewing
but you watched anyway, hoping that he would pick Doocardee Streetfighter as the winner eh ! lol, they are all winners, we are spoilt nowadays with so many choices, just depends on how much you want to spend .
@@JoUtan01Of course I watched, but I knew the SF never stood a chance. With the MT10 out, the real suspense was going to be who ended up on the bottom this year.
I am a Tuono V4 and Speed Triple fan boy. I own one of each albeit older models. I was of course very interested about trying the 2021 versions of the Aprilia and Triumph. I did, on the same route two days apart. The Tuono is fantastic but is a facelift of the previous model. Compared to the Triumph it feels a generation older, which it is. The Speed Triple 1200RS is the best motorcycle I have ever experienced. OK, the engine in the Tuono is still the best engine ever and tops even the fantastic new 1160 triple. But the Triumph is a better bike, steers faster, brakes better, the engine is stronger, the gearbox/quickshift more precise, is easier to ride, more comfortable. Only the TFT is a letdown being too small and slow
For me? This sounds picky AF, but range of the bikes. Triumph will crowd 300 kms to a tank. The Tuono, you'd be lucky to get 230kms out of it. And its got a bigger tank! Lol
If that's the biggest concern...hahaha
But im only 5'10 200lbs, the KTM is actually too tall for me lol
@Shalin dampen the Olin's down to nothing and get a seat cushion lol
Even on the softest setting the suspension on the speedy 1200 is still lots stiff. It is extremely track focused
@Shalin lol that's a big step dude lol more than 100hp jump in power
Super Duke & Streetfighter V4 🧡❤
Love my Superduke. It is the best for all- day comfort and incredible at everything.
i got touno last month, the v4 2021, with akropovic on it. Bike is a BOMB! going fast? it flies!
Michael I know all theese bunch on great bikes and totally agree on every single words. Yeah streetf Is bellissima e tu sei un grande!
I've been reading and listening to Neevsey for over 15 years and he's the best in the business. Not pretentious and feels like a ate you'd ask for motorcycling advice rather than a journalist
2020 Tuono owner sounds superb with the Akrapovic exhaust setup.
another cracking review Neevsey
What a review...! 👏Michael Neeves
I love both of my Tuonos, I'm glad he's still the leader.
Excellent review. Always a pleasure 👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
The Triumph has a great seat and is fast, but that streetfighter is bonkers. And the V4 makes the best sound. Hoping to ride the Tuono next week.
And plus for the Triumph and Aprilia, cheaper to insure from what I’ve found
Ordered the Tuono V4 Factory.... cant wait..
Ooof that tripple has my heart!!!
by the sounds of it, you need all of them depending on your mood! :)
What a fantastic review, I just wish there was more of this!
Watch this space...
Great review... Subscribed!
Super Duke for 22 addressed the modes and 2 used defined quick mode and the new EVO fully Automatic suspension is the stuff. I own one because of the changes.
Great review. I didn't know about the new Ducati having more grunt. I've got a 2020 model with the full Akra system + flash. Did they change any internals or would these two years be the same? Curious since I'd consider going up a year if the torque change is something I can't do with my 2020. Great in-depth and objective reviews guys! Your channel gets better every year!
I love Aprilia, I'd get the tuono, rsv4, rs660 and an adv if they ever make one.
I really enjoy your videos. At least because you always say that the Tuono is the best. I now own my second V4 Tuono (2020)) had a RSV4 and still have on of my V2 Tuonos in my garage. So I'm kind of a fan. But when I ride with my buddies (SD2.0, S1000R, in the italian alps I swear that not the bike makes the difference. 🤣
I've owned two Tuono's - a 2003 MY from back in the day and a new 660 Factory. I'd love to give one of the V4s a go.
cool. ive got the 2018 and its fantastic
such beautiful pieces of machinery
I will have to agree I have the 1100 and it’s a fantastic bike and that motor is the best sounding in the business
👍 I just got a 2019 Aprilia torno RR that's a phenomenal bike it rides a lot better than my 2008 Ducati 1098 s I love both these bikes now I'm going to get in Augusta f3 😁
I own a 2019 Tuono Factory and have just recently picked up the 1290SDR. All round better bike is still the Tuono but...on the day you wake up with a really bad case of the F around. The Duke is the absolute weapon of choice.
Until your radiator starts leaking. Lmao.
@@evaggelospasiakos1521 you're 100% on that. That was the issue with Gen 1 and 2. I have the Gen 3 but no prior experience with earlier model so can't really comment if they've fixed the rad support yet.
Thanks for the great shootout Michael. The new Speed Triple is personal fav of mine in terms of looks. Also, I like the idea of non-electronic Ohlins suspension. My car's electronic suspension has had all sorts of problems during the years and I wished so many times that my car had conventional ones instead of those. One complaint I have about the S3 is that it sounds a bit clinical and for some reason it lacks after market exhaust options. Triumph used to offer arrow mufflers and the full exhaust, but for the new model they offer nothing!!
Only bike I've takin to the track I didn't need to stiffen up the suspension. But it can be a jarring ride on a rough road.
