Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Speed Triple R 2016
Like its predecessor, the Speed Triple R delights with its high-quality, sensitively responding Öhlins suspension and its stunning looks. The design remains true to its line - which can only please the many fans. The engine's braking and responsiveness can hardly be complained about, but the lack of power on the competition and the somewhat sluggish handling can certainly be forgiven, after all, the Speed Triple is a classic with history and the design is legendary - which is much more important to true fans than the one or two extra horsepower.
Ducati 999 2006
The Ducati 999 is aimed at riders who value character, sound and an engaging riding experience more highly than maximum practicality for everyday use. The powerful L-twin cylinder engine, the dry clutch and the precise chassis deliver an unmistakable old-school Ducati experience. In return, it demands more attention at low revs, when it comes to maintenance and when selecting a well-maintained bike. Its controversial design makes it comparatively accessible within the Ducati world.
