The beautiful thing of the triple set up is the Torque - which is most valid on the street. Handling is next, and the neutrality the Triumphs possess along with the fact that they are a street considered bike - as opposed to a Race rep - makes for real world superiority. It's fine having 150 ponies but if it means bragging rights only, then give me the balance and usability that most of the Triumphs have. There's no point having a razor, if you can't shave - as it were! I ride an old 95 S3 and regularly show the RR litre boys a tail light exiting curves, 'cos I have access to 'drive' when they're still puckering from going in too hot. Power and flick-ability is great in the mags but doesn't always lead to longevity - let alone clean underwear - unless you think you're Max Biaggi already! Back in 90's the 916's my buddies rode only ever got away from me in the hands of the talented race oriented guys and 2 of the 4 Ducs ended up as horticultural experiments anyway - we all crash some time - just that some get there first. imhofwiw :-D
