Re: [ST] On TV? and Speed Triple vs Guzzi V11



Having owned a Roulette Green Speed Triple (with a
Turbo, incidentally -- see
http://www.boostisgood.com), I can say without
question or hesitation that it is a far superior
motorcycle to the V11.

I'm about 6'5", 225 lbs, so I fit better on Triumphs
than any other bike.  The green triple with 183 HP at
the rear wheel was the biggest attention getter of my
riding group, which contained some very high dollar
bikes (Ducs, Prillas, etc).  Triples are still the
most unique configuration out there - and they sound
the best (IMO).
