Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2010

Euphoria spread through the long bends. The Triple is a bit more expensive than some Nippon Nakeds with cheap chassis and you can feel it. It remains stable, you can open the throttle hard and you hit the line exactly.

More power

increased torque

reduced weight

agility

greatly improved geometry

precise and fast.

>100kg people might have space problems.

KTM 990 Super Duke 2005

You can still enter corners precisely or turn the bike on. You can still correct every radius with ease and at will. The Superduke is still more fun than having fun in your lederhosen. And you can still take on anyone with it.

High-performance device

extreme potential - not fully achievable.

Geometry

suboptimal ride comfort

design of the instruments.
