Bit of an update..
I've narrowed it down to 3 bikes(I think)
Talking to dealers etc...
But having a real hard time picking a winner...hence I turn to the wisdom of gtam (I might be going in for some test drives this week
)
-Street Triple RS
-Tuono 660(factory?)
-890 Duke R
The primary reason this list looks the way it does is because I want a bike that is:
1)Lightweight and handles well
2) Has plenty of usable power and character
3) Sounds and looks good
4) Doesnt have so much power that I end up just riding around using 30% of the bike and its potential on the street.
(as was the case with the superduke) I want to feel like Im wringing its neck and actually giving the bike a 'work out'.
(Sorry ducatistis, I like cruise control)
As mentioned I will also occasionally track it.
My current thinking is heavily influenced by past purchasing decisions and bike ownership.
A concern I have with the street triple is I've heard from some that they tend to be more rev-hungry, and lack a bit of low down punch that I like.
im also not so sure about the KTMs...hella fun bikes, but they tend to be harsh, angry, agricultural and not the best looking or best sounding imo...
Thoughts and opinions welcome (especially if you've ridden a street triple)
I could just throw logic out the window, and go yolo tuono V4
Interested to see.
