It's a ------- brilliant around town bike, and the torque really is phenomenal.

the mags like them both, i think they usually give the speed triple a better rating because its faster, and maybe some anti-hd biased mixed in
but in reality the speed triple is a tad faster acceleration wise, it has a faster top speed by about 10mph i think, and they handling and braking are about the same. both sweet machines
i sometimes ride with a guy with a speed triple and its defiantly a level playing field.

Re: Triumph Speed Triple 1050
Im riding the Daytona 675 right now. Its a good bike. My friend has the 955i version of the Speed Triple. Its a very comfortable bike with good grunt even though my d675 will eat the ---- out of it on the track. If I had the choice I would choose the Street Triple over the Speed Triple. I guess it would depend on your size. The Street Triple is pretty hard to find right now.
