Right....I dont know why anyone would want the Street T when you can get the Speed. Almost double the displacement.

you hit it right on the head. remember triumph doesnt build bikes nessesarily for our market. im willing to bet that the street is for folks who are at a lower tier that still want the badass streetfighter look and ability

I have more fun on my dualsport than with the Duc (I am talking about twisties)

I've ridden the lightning SS, which is very close to the ulysses in geometry. And without a doubt, the Firebolt handles "better"..

Having lots of time on my Super Duke, it's no surprise to see it on the list. It's perhaps the best handling street bike I've ever ridden. I'm not sure how to explain a heavier, more poorly suspended Triumph trumping it other than typical Brit-bias.

pffft. what do you expect when you ask a bunch of brits what "handles" the best ? of course they are gonna cry about how their triumph is the best thing on two wheels. not impressed.

:rolleyes: try fast bikes from now on. in their naked bikes comparo the street triple only beat out the monster and lost handily to the tuono, some other italian i cant remember, and the super duke. in THAT order. mcn is bullshit

Hmmm.. interesting stuff.

Tards FTW!

I'm not at all surprised to see two KTM's on the list. KTM owns WP Suspension, and their stuff is TOP shelf, easily on par with Ohlins or Penske. I love the way my KTM handles.
