2014 Ultimate Streetfighter Finale

[@CycleCruza]

Everybody seems to like the KTM Super Duke the best but forget to factor in it's weak dealer and part support in the US. From what I've heard on the forums KTM's reliability isn't the best overall. Aprilia's US dealer support and part availability isn't much better than KTM. I'd love to test ride the BMW s1000r, much cheaper, better looking than the KTM and dealership support is better, a little better reliability (going by the S1000rr) my pick would probably be the BMW if I liked the test ride. Honda needs to do something with the CB1000r already!

[@Na2gumiBlogspot]

Who cares about all that practical stuff when buying a motorcycle :D :))))

[@CycleCruza]

bstavrev If the KTM or Aprilia needs fixing/parts that means no riding for a long time, if you have just one bike. Some guys on the Aprilia forum say you can grow a beard before the part is even shipped if the part is in stock. lol Also, the parts can be 3x more expensive than what you are used to paying for readily available japanese parts.

[@Na2gumiBlogspot]

Yes, I agree with you, it is just that a few people consider those things when purchasing a fun machine

[@Na2gumiBlogspot]

I'd personally go with the KTM, no mater what :)

[@ZoneTelevision]

bstavrev Hear! Hear ! The Devil bike is the true champion of this group. If you live in a thickly settled urban area like me dealers are no problem.

[@ArturoSantoTomas]

I went for the ktm, but hard decision against bmw s1000r... (I spent 4 months convinced about the bmw). I can't be happier for finally deciding to buy the ktm, even the simplest/easiest ride makes me put a stupid smile on my face. Ergonomics is incredible I'm 6'1". Could drive for ages even at high speeds (wind doesn't hit you so hard and I can't realize why). Quality feel of every single component (shifting, braking, a bolt, cable, mechanism,...) is outstanding. Stability is incredible even with soft damping at high pace. (and I was kind of sceptic because of the long shock absorber travel, 156mm) Engine is... a beast. Never tried something similar, so fantastic. (and I was on the racetrack just a month ago with a BMWS1000RR with HP parts, power boost about 200hp on the wheel, etc...) It's expensive though... but you won't regret a single euro.

[@ArturoSantoTomas]

+aaron collier as you get taller, the decision becomes easier from the ergonomics point of view, falling on the KTM's side. You will feel much more comfortable in the KTM than in any other bike.

[@pvkjhilk8323]

+Arturo Santo Tomás the tank mostly but some of it is the sloped nose and tach/dash

[@Beaver314]

holy fucking volume warning, Batman!?

[@thebeast3683]

Thanks! Saved the kids from waking up with a ninja mute.

[@alexanderhauge2636]

After trying both the 1290 duke with full powerparts and akrapovic exhaust I was sold. .. easy to ride, comfy and exciting. However I am 5.5 and this bike is tall. Tried the kausalitet z 1000. fits me better. It all comes down to preferanse . Look forward to try the BMW

[@TheGreatBender]

Absolutely love the whole testing series you did. Taking it everywhere and putting them in all the same situations! Thank you for a great review. I was rooting for the S1000R the whole way. I have been checking out the other bikes and I am a short rider. Even though the bimmer didn't take the win with you guys, I still prefer it. I couldn't do this comparo because of my bias to inline fours. Although I own a v-twin now and love it, I have a yearning for the scream of the BMW!

[@fireoil]

The super duke r is friggin awesome. I tested the 2017 version. Just felt in love with this bike

[@66峠]

V4Rを購入しました。 思ったよりも迫力のある音でビックリしています。

[@cwugrad396]

such an excellent review ... these guys really are great to watch

[@JpOcDenver]

Jesus I hope they fired whoever edited this video.

[@ZoneTelevision]

Give the Devil his due. I sat on the KTM at the show and I swear it felt just as comfy as my Street Triple I was shocked. Go Duke or go home. Ztreet Fighterz Rule.

[@Antmanmoto]

I'm diggin Troys AGV....very cool lid man! And I don't like those star bolts holding the bars on the KTM if we are splitting hairs here.

[@207Richy]

I'm bias but I'd like to see which they'd choose after a few months of ownership. After several long rides on the BMW with the quickshifter and the cruise control, I'm not sure I can live without them.

[@davidsargee8526]

Would like to see the EBR streetfighter in a comparison like this when it is possible. Really interested in seeing how it stacks up.

[@kfshman]

The title should be 2014 Ultimate European Streetfighter

[@geoffpoole1972]

That was a very fair review guys! As you said, all great bikes. I reckon any potential buyers should test them all and see which one suits them the best and the one they like the look of the most. Nevertheless, great motorcycle reporting. Thank you! ;)

[@jimlee3725]

Can't wait to see 2015 version of this.

[@VladKhomutov]

4:16 - Aprilia rider almost falls off ROFL!

[@and30ers]

Excellent video, thanks!

[@Jrbobmcc]

I'm with CycleCruza on the dealer network issue. Plus I read on the forums of possible reliability issues on the Tuono. It's possible the weak dealer network is at fault. I'm about to retire my Duc 900SP and these three are my likely candidates. If I lived in Austin I might feel differently but a Beemer is in my future.

[@Asperaetastra]

Nah, just get Street Triple and be happy! No need to thank me ;D

[@brianjackson9801]

Rustam Khasanov Unless you're 6'3, 225lbs... I feel like I'm on a Shriner circus bike when I ride it. Great bike otherwise. Sold my Speed coz it has the worst seat to peg ergos for tall people. The previous gen was comfy though. Have a 990SMT now, but not digging the tall goofy suspension. Fun bike though. Super Duke tomorrow...

[@MrZ1000fam]

They're ugly though front lights are horrible

[@theavangelist]

awww my ears. I would have overdubbed those on-boards, were you using you phones or something? The arm angles on that Aprilla look quite stiff no?

[@timtom7097]

Are there any good sport bikes for 6 foot 4. 300 pounds

[@salisburyplain998]

LOL that hair on a old dude is just wrong ,chuckle brother look alike LOL,good review though and I chose the tuono ,awesome machine.

[@BTOriginals]

What helmet is Troy wearing there? That thing looks great!

[@SacchanK]

AGV-AX8 EVO naked Yep, i love that helmet too

[@josepca89]

what a great vid guys

[@gonzotopia1]

Get an exhaust on the Aprilia and find a tunnel, you'll jizz so hard!!

[@maxvitko8957]

for on board reviews i think a chest mounted camera would work a lot better

[@larryatchinson4557]

All of these bikes I'd be happy to have. The aprilia for me has been almost the perfect bike. To get it that way all i had to do was buy the factory windscreen, add 1 inch bar risers, install the race ecu and a slip on. The one HUGE shortcoming which is almost a deal breaker and eventually will be is the fuel range. If I lived in California I would probably be happy with lots of twisty roads relatively close by but I don't and I have fuel range anxiety every time I ride. I love it so much I want to ride but I feel tethered to gas stations. Soooo close to my perfect bike. That sound, the uniqueness and comfort/sport combination. Luckily you can add wind protection to the aprilia and bmw from the looks of it but don't see it on the ktm. Believe me if you don't live in California you will want it. Oh, tall seat height kind of sucks for my short ass too but seems all bikes are tall now (except street triple which fits me like a glove).

[@dhawalmeher5038]

Inline 4 sound touches my heart ... Always ...

[@benclarkson4205]

What's going on with the stereo issue when the 3rd guys starts talking?

[@jonywalabi2647]

hey, can anybody help me? o dont seem to understand the purpose of these bikes? what differs them from regular sportsbikes such as a bmw s100 rr?

[@lmenzol]

jony walabi higher handlebars and a more upright easier to ride position

[@jonywalabi2647]

so they are made more for the street than the track?

[@lmenzol]

jony walabi pretty much more low end torque and more comfortable to ride than sportbikes but almost as fast especially these 1000cc streetfighters have better acceleration than most sporbikes

[@Towert7]

Dam guys, you make good videos, but someone needs to help you with the audio setup!

[@fablethefox]

160 mph....i can barely reach 100 mph on my toyota echo.... also troy's helmet. i want to know where he got it

[@Nigellee23]

Why no ducati streetfighter in this review? The Ktm really look awesome :)

[@twowheeldanger]

The only Ducati Streetfighter available in the USA is the 848.

[@Nigellee23]

oh i see, tough decision on who is the clear winner between the ktm and the aprilia. cant wait for more review updates. keep it up guys :)

[@fpvgearhead5034]

What happened to the rest of the bikes?

[@chrisr4815]

Sounds like a fart at 9:42

[@deanloveridge2534]

😂 that's blatantly a fart!

[@AJTalks]

You can see his face cringe as he realizes it was not as quiet as he expected it to be lol

[@chrisr4815]

+Alex Johnson haha, didn't even notice that.

[@IchibanMoto]

I love me some KTM

[@UBCSWraith]

I'd like to see a long term 10-20k mile comparison between these three. I think everyone's opinions about these bikes would be a bit different.

[@williamduc7532]

round headlight Speed Triple! Speed Triple Z1000 Z1000 < the new one looks a little alienish but damn it the Z and the Speed Triple are the reason streetfighters are even alive. I know the Ducati Diavel isnt really a streetfighter, but if we are talking about in town fun, the Diavel is a sexy mamma not a big fan of the ducati Streetfighter overall but it looks sexy. :)

[@SoulTravellers]

you dudes need to get some decent mics

[@brendanseesall]

the audio was very inconsistent and poor in this video

[@dedracingteam]

Hmmm, Brutale 1090RR ?? Corsa ?

[@fireoil]

nice bikes, but i will prefer an vfr 800 f ( 2014 ) to ride more every day , and make long trips ( 21L tank fuel, panniers acceptance, engine with a VTEC and fuel economy ) . but if i have more money i will test ktm and maybe buy it !

[@kneedraggin4529]

While the streetfighter name came from ducati, all I can gather from reading and watching videos is that these are supposedly called nakeds. BMW insists there bike is a standard. With these three I think it's the details that separate them. Lets face it 160 mph or a little higher, great handling and a more comfortable riding position make these 3 a bit of a toss up. I don't know about you but I probably won't get to test the absolute limits with 99.9% of my regular riding. Pick the one that fits you.

[@kcdtransport]

I prefer the super-duke im 5’10 and it’s just so nice to ride all around KTM #1 in my garage

[@hugobear1]

nice thanks....I wanted the KTM but bought the BMW because of two things....1. Dealer network - London's one KTM dealer has closed, Croydon is closest ... 2. Price.... BMW £12k , KTM well over £15k ....however it's a long wait for the BMW , 5 months!

[@touristguy87]

wow you could have walked to Germany in 5 months

[@hugobear1]

touristguy87 it's mad - next delivery date now is 2015....as for the 90T Cafe Racer - 18 months wait!!!!!

[@MusicFed]

+hugobear1 did you try the KTM at the time? I am seriously considering the BMW for the same reasons as you, and they told me the Croydon dealer is terrible and to not buy it there.... most people seem to say the KTM is even too rough

[@monomakes]

I like your videos, but I don't see any streetfighters in this one ;) #builtnotbought

[@superstarr310]

the awkward hair lol

[@sgtthor7830]

no cb1000r?

[@ylism]

Who paid for this show, Ultimate Streetfighter Finale, no street, and yes I know there is a another video ? lol

[@mohammadalosaimi7517]

strange when they test it on tracks...these bikes made for roads (casual ride) not track

[@lucamenna8208]

You can bring any bike on track. It's a way to check the performance of your bike, on safety.

[@mohammadalosaimi7517]

true..but if they gave negative review on track, does it effect the bike on city and or real road driving? i dunno what to buy yamaha fz1n, gsx-s1000 or honda cb1000r what would you choose?

[@mohammadalosaimi7517]

true..but if they gave negative review on track, does it effect the bike on city and or real road driving? i dunno what to buy yamaha fz1n, gsx-s1000 or honda cb1000r what would you choose?

[@mohammadalosaimi7517]

[@DarudeSandstormVEVO]

+M.B.T DXB I would go for the Honda CB1000R.

[@PastelitoPapi]

Hey Troy has the same helmet as me

[@DouEditz]

where can i purchase it?

[@MrPanda415]

Wish i wasn't vertically challenge so i can ride the superduke comfortably

[@liamj2363]

Why do newer naked bikes have so much plastic?

[@thebigwarthog]

If you've ever ridden a naked bike on the highway the wind will push your legs apart so a lot of naked bikes will have mini fairings to stop that from happening.

[@liamj2363]

thebigwarthog Makes sense I suppose, though why anybody would want to travel at speeds that make it hard to grip with your legs on a naked bike is beyond me.

[@thebigwarthog]

I find that on my bike over 100kph gets a bit tiring. The faster you go over 100 the more wind buffeting and helmet lift you get.

[@FRMCBlack]

where was the triumph speed triple?

[@MPI1000]

FRMCBlack Meh, these are superbikes turned crazy roadbikes with 170-180 hp. The speed triple, not so much... For starters it's 40-50 hp short and 20 kg over. I'm not trashing it, I like it. But it is probably better compared to the likes of the Z1000 and the coming GSX-S1000. A bit tamer roadbikes than the aforementioned loonies.

[@FRMCBlack]

fair enough, the loonies are more fun anyways

[@JohnInSale]

This film missed the whole point of the brief !!! The Clue was Streetfighter, so why test on the track as that's for Sports Bikes or Faired Bikes D'oh !!! Only Streetfighter or Naked was the KTM !!! Perhaps try the BMW NineT etc !!!

[@KelvinSmoke]

Why no Speed Triple 1050?

[@ZoneTelevision]

It's because the Speed Triple is like 30 less Horse's than these bikes. I agree but Triumph needs to put the Speed3 on a diet and it needs (at least) 25 + more HP to be relevant again in this crowd.

[@harrysamaras]

they have tested more bikes in another video including the speed triple but in this video they compare the best three

[@JDoubleOP]

It's not in this league...... i know it

[@gwwayner]

The ultimate street-fighter is the police ghost-car. Good-bye driver's license!

[@static369]

Would be good if you could do an Asian street fighter video...

[@alyssawaggoner7571]

where is the EBR 1190??

[@BmoReYCE]

and the MV Agusta Brutale 1090RR?

[@mmmmuffinman]

It's like splitting hairs so opinions are subjective and it's good to know that their all that good what it will come down to is brand preference and I will go with BMW their motorrad community is arguably the best and they back their bikes plus they hold their value. S1000R's have a 6 month waiting list in Toronto, Canada. The other two are just not as exclusive. I do like the KTM but i'm a shorter rider and KTM is on the bottom end of the reliability scale. Comming from an HP4 I wouldn't want to live without the DDC and the BMW quick shifter is a God send. I think the Tuono looks dated. I think the Ducati 1200 S should of made it to the finale over the Tuono.

[@gggromay]

All this reviews and comparisons are useless to people who are going to buy this bikes without considering reliability. No matter how good is a bike, if once you own it, it starts braking down, gives you headaches, becomes a money pit, then that edge that made it better at first quickly dissolves, and fun turns into nightmare, suddenly its NOT the best bike to own. So, reliability is another factor to consider when talking about which bike is better and where should you put your money.

[@DarudeSandstormVEVO]

+GRRB What the hell are you talking about? I'm driving a USED BMW S1000RR for 2 years now and it still looks like new and to me it is the VERY DEFINITION of reliability.

[@gggromay]

+Darude Sandstorm whats wrong with you? Im saying reliability is crucial when considering which motorcycle to buy and "All this reviews" fail to take that into account when comparing bikes... Where in my comment did I say the Bmw was not reliable? The fact that you took it that way signals some problem or something wrong with you

[@DarudeSandstormVEVO]

+GRRB Do you actually have ANY idea about the engineering quality of any of these bikes?? It's like talking about Ferrari's and someone starts bitching about the colour red... If ANY of these bikes starts braking down it's because of the crappy driver and not the bike which is pretty much why reliability is not discussed in these topics. How many BMWs do I see/hear who wanted to be tough with their blingbling Akrapovic... but they couldn't care about the ECU mapping so they're slowly raping that excellent engine. They all wanna act knee-down cool in corners complaining about the bike is not reliable... but never heard of countersteering.

[@gggromay]

+Darude Sandstorm Apparently you read too much and understand too little, so you just repeat things like "counter steering". First of all I never said any of this bikes was or wasn't reliable, I was clearly saying there are other things to consider when owning a motorcycle apart from the first impression. And for your info, according to Consumer Reports, BMW is one of the most unreliable motorcycle brands.

[@James-xp4io]

then wht abt BMW with Akrapovic sound......

[@AMPJ08]

To all of you looking for the BMW have an idea! Get the KTM now have the ride of your lives then sell it upon collecting your BMW! Then no more regrets!

[@clevername333]

KTM is just a great bike... When it's running right.

[@brianmckinnon8849]

Who buys a Bike based on it having more dealers? Or a dealer closer to you? Way down my list…I would drive hours to get my Bike serviced if it was the one I wanted. I think you will find more ppl get left on the side of the road needing a trailer on the latest BMW's than any KTM owners and they have the most dealers.

[@firstavailablename]

You trolling? K(eep) T(hrowing) M(oney) are notoriously unreliable bikes whereas BMW have a long history of being built to last. The Aprilia... well... ahh I just wish it wasn't so damn expensive :-(

[@brianmckinnon8849]

***** Don't agree sorry, How many Dakar's has KTM's unreliability gotten it? Looked at the BMW 1600GT, most buyers were left by the side of the road with shorted electrics, Recall to replace all switchgear? Go to the forums, Test drove one and it had so much drive train lash, I thought it was faulty, my 40 yo Moto Guzzi has none but BMW give you it out of the factory door for 36K? new. Many owners quote excessive oil use. I own a KTM 950 with 70, 000 kilometres on its WP suspension, just now it is having the forks seals done and the rear shock is untouched. 10,000 klm trip and the oil level didn't move. Don't think many GS owners will go that far on factory suspension, in fact many have had the rear shock totally fail at around 20K on many models. This is what you expect from a japanese bike on low cost suspension. I am sure there are some great reliability stories about BMTroubleU but I think there you also find many issues as well and some horror stories with regard cost when out of warranty. If you want bullet proof mechanicals buy a Yamaha or Honda but just be prepared to be bored. Still wouldn't let lack of dealers stop me buying the bike I want.

[@brianjackson9801]

***** Dude. Of all the bikes I've owned, my 990SMT has been the best. Ride and reliability are top. Which KTMs have you owned and what was the issue?

[@Rachman01]

more like TRACKFIGHTER if all they really discuss is track capability then these are shit tier compared to their supersport counterparts. Supersport >> Streetfighter around a track anyday. For street capability, a bike does not need any of the track goodies in fact it makes the bike a lot more uncomfortable and a chore around city traffic. I ride an FZ09.

[@DarudeSandstormVEVO]

+Rachman01 I hate it when morons start telling shit without knowing. First of all... you have a LOT of different tracks. Some of them are great for supersports but really... a lot of them for amateur drivers on trackdays are designed for these kind of bikes. That 175pk Aprilia fucks a BMW S1000RR around some of these tracks.

[@KK-px4hh]

Love the sound of bmw.

[@weirjf]

I didn't know Rod Stewart tested bikes

[@norseman5041]

where is the EBR SX1190

[@dedelabinouze5110]

The EBR is far from being competitive with these three.

[@norseman5041]

I guess you have tested this out ?

[@dedelabinouze5110]

There's no need to test this out. The EBR is cool, and it would have been competitive, in 2005 maybe. Get some info about let's say the S1000R, and then compare them to the EBR. You'll understand how uncompetitive the EBR is.

[@norseman5041]

Well I am a Biker, so I know all of the bikes in this collection including the EBR. I almost bought a S1000R. But for what you have to pay for the bike the EBR is way more bike for the money.

[@roybatty-]

The Aprilia and BMW are not street bikes.

[@DarudeSandstormVEVO]

+Roy Batty W... T... F... dude. IF it has lights and a horn it's streetlegal for me...

[@roybatty-]

Darude Sandstorm Their ergos are for the track. You can use it on the street, but its like using a Formula One car as your daily driver in NYC.

[@starrider1900]

+Roy Batty bull shit! Ride one.

[@roybatty-]

+starrider1900 Rode both. The body is pitched too forward for a street bike. You are nearly in the same position as on their race bikes. They are literally the sport bikes minus the fairings. The fork is a little longer and the handle bars are a tad higher on the naked versions, but still too far forward to be a proper street bike.

[@starrider1900]

+Roy Batty do you know this is a street fighter challenge? because you just described the perfect Street Fighter. its not a street bike challenge.

[@pinbota]

I love these bikes but the aprilia and the bmw are far from naked.

[@Henno3000]

And the KTM is the only one of these bikes reaching 300Km/h...All other competitors are flat-out at 250 - 260 Km/h

[@BruceWayne-hf7zw]

Thats because the speedo over reads by about 35kmh(go look it up). It gets nowhere near that. I test rode it a few weeks back and it's really not very quick past an actual 110mph. Fantastic bike but it's nowhere near the beast that was claimed

[@Henno3000]

Bruce Wayne Thanks bruce for the reply...The fact that you are stating now is very astonishing for me!!! I never test rode it, so I assume you are right. What was the top speed you recorded please?

[@khamid1]

Bruce Wayne Rubbish, I have my GPS reading 299kmph. The KTM is a beastly, you just turn the electronics off!

[@BruceWayne-hf7zw]

khamid1 The only rubbish is what you typed. MCN tested the top speed at 159mph while it was indicating 180. Loads of owners have been complaining. I turned everything off when I rode it and had another friend along with me. It's dead after 110mph compared to a 1000cc sportsbike and barely pulled away from my 990SMR (which I would consider slow in a straight line). But it's beastly to you so that's what matters - even if you are lying about a GPS 299kmh - thats pure shite!

[@BruceWayne-hf7zw]

Bruce Wayne And before you cry I like the bike. It's really good fun but being delusional won't make it something it isnt

[@davidsargee8526]

Question from an old fart. I like this class of bikes, but I am amused at the name, what, exactly, are they fighting? "Naked" bike is sooo much better.

[@benclarkson4205]

Addicting lol

[@AlanTrades]

S1000R!

[@KingeryWorks]

wheres the ducati "streetfighter"

[@TheSuperMotoHooligan]

Alrighty then...

[@superduke3106]

Hi there in the states. I am from Austria - the home country of KTM. Got my 1290SD-R End of March and i can only assure, that its the best bike I ve ever ridden. In the alps (mountains) I am unbeatable, acceleration out of curves unique.Wheely up to 4th gear, On track there are some faster - okay - depends on what you prefer - Only or mostly on track than you should not take a naked bike... My next KTM-dealer is also more than 1 hour away - what do I care about that, I want the best and no compromises in riding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Orange greetings from Austria 1290SD-Ready

[@59vaughn]

Put a hayabusa motor in the gxxr frame...then you'll have the tippy toppist creme creamy...all these pretenders cos insurance master says no more shall...

[@davidsargee8526]

For me, it's the BMW, these bikes are stupid close, and the KTM, according to the test rider, seems to be their favorite. I am not knocking the KTM, it's a very capable bike indeed, like they said, I could be happy with it. The BMW is simply the best looking of the bunch for me. The Aprilia is second in that regard, and the KTM, for me, is butt ugly. I just don't like the styling of the Super Duke. If any of these bikes were a birthday present, I would be ecstatic.

[@mikeydempsey]

Nice, All great bikes,, but they Aint unique racers, just Naked Roadsters,,, as an Example i,ll use the BMW Concept Roadster as my point,, racer properly done.

[@mauromarchese1313]

L' Aprilia vince..🤷🏻‍♂️👍👍👍

[@mickeyrat3369]

I like the German one

[@MassTnT]

Oh god, they're so ugly! I would save somehow the KTM but the others... horrible. Do we really need so many hp to sit on a toilet bowl? :)

[@Catacome]

By class KTM superduke r is the only pure breed of streetfighter. the other two are simply superbikes with torn down fairings with some parts replaced and walla self proclaimed streetfighter...ofcoz these bikes triumph on track days..very weak review...this 2 bikes does not deserved or shoudnt be in this category in th first place..

[@josephkover5937]

Retarded comment, a streetfighter is a sport bike torn apart, that's how the genre was born. People used to have to make their own streetfighters out of sport bikes.

[@bigred1100s]

KTM any day

[@GeneralLack]

Street triple for ever. These bikes are "useless", with all this power and no aerodynamic. The are very expensive for use in public roads with traffic and little accidents. Forget about gasoline and routine services.

[@MrPanda415]

Its only money bro. You seem to like the street triple so why did you throw in the fairing issue, public road usability, and accidents?

[@GeneralLack]

MrPanda415 What are naked bikes made for?

[@MrPanda415]

The fuck? You like the street triple yet you are making all these claims against a naked bike. Just say these bikes are out of your price rage. So that is why you have the need to trash them. Every bike has their attraction to different people. By your logic no one really need anything more than a scooter to get around town. And if you want practical then a motorcycle has nothing on a car. Now if you are just poor and can't buy these shit then just deal with it or make more money. Your post is a contradiction and tells people you're just angry because these bikes are too expensive for you to buy. That is what your post sound like. These bikes are more or less toys and if you can't see that than continue on your mission to trash them.

[@GeneralLack]

MrPanda415 Your reply to my "opinion" is a little aggressive. Truth is that i prefer to have 2 bikes modified the way i like them than a so expensive without a "character". And again naked bikes are not aerodynamic that means that a bike with 100hp and a bike with 160hp perform the same at high speed. For example with my triple my 4th gives me 215km/h and my 6th 245km/h and the air makes it too difficult to stay in this speed for long. And again this is my opinion coming from my experience...

[@ricardoedwardo5799]

I've just traded my street and Gixxer 1000 for a Tuono V4, it blows them both away. Street is awesome but just not enough if you need that weekend adrenaline kick, Tuono is a scary beast that turns like it's on rails. It's simply the best bike I've ridden...period!

[@COOLS32401]

i will pick bmw..

Lmenzol I'm a Triumph fan, but this isn't true in any way. The Speed Triple is heavy, down on power, and at least five years behind everyone else.

[@lmenzol]

Street Triple not speed, yea its smaller but that bike is as close to perfect as you can get

[@3BrosElectro]

Lmenzol Street triple has great suspension, but really lacking in electronics package, especially compared to the Tuono. When I was shopping for a new bike, it came down to either the Street Triple R or Tuono V4R... I'm loving my Tuono. Not to mention the sound and smooth delivery of a V4 engine.

take them both down a canyon road see which is more fun im sure youll change your mind

[@Antmanmoto]

Lmenzol Is that why it hasn't won one shootout or even podiumed? Nice engine sound tho

[@Slycarlo]

KTM handle much better in curves because its made to be Asian Based road Naked bike where roads are curves and it has almost 1/1 hp to weight ratio its a 1290cc

Who the hell uses cruise control on a supoer naked? If you want cruise on this kind of bike you're looking at the wrong kind of bike in the first place.

[@ozPanzer]

Bullshit. I have to ride on a highway for an hour to get to my twisties so I'll use the cruise control thanks.

[@hunghuge7717]

ozPanzer If you need to ride for an hour to get to twisties you live in a crap place for bikes. Buy a harley and pretend you're in the village people.

[@Asperaetastra]

Shush! There is no twisties in Russia, so I ride 4 hours straight ;D But, honestly, that not just a need option - cruise control

[@thisisbenji90]

hung huge People who don't live on a mountain, that's who. Most of us have to ride over an hour to get to hour favorite roads.

[@hunghuge7717]

benjamin reynolds In which case why would you buy a naked sportbike in the first place? An hour on straight roads with no fairing is just a pain in the ass. 2 hours (presuming you're going home after) means half your day will be spent blowing about on cruise control. Whats the point? Trailer the bike if you live that far or at least buy a sport tourer so it's not so bad.
