That pillion seat does not look comfortable!
Am I the only one who thinks that triple is milquetoast at best? I'll spare you the in depth rant about sprotbiles and my lack of interest in them, but seriously, go liter bike or GTFO. The triple is a compromise that takes away the violence of the big twins and the punch of the liter 4.
LOL. Have you ridden a V-twin? I haven't ridden one I thought was violent. My Super Duke will wheelie all day long, but the power delivery is so linear it's the exact opposite of violent. In my experience, a triple is the ideal compromise between the low-end grunt of a twin and the top-end hit of an inline-4.
Violent as in you twist the throttle and all the torque is immediately there. Terrible for going fast around corners. Triples are the red headed bastard child of an abusive violent twin and a fat old water buffalo.
:laughing Twins are much easier to ride than I4s, in my experience. Yes, they have a ton of torque but the delivery is anything but violent (on the bikes I've ridden, anyway). The very first ride on my 1301cc Super Duke was on rain-soaked roads that were slicker than walrus snot on an ice floe. Torque was so linear and the motor so easy to control I only spent 1-2 minutes in "Rain" mode before switching back to the full-power "Street" mode...
I'm thinking that Doug Polen, Carl Fogarty, Colin Edwards, Troy Corser, and Troy Bayliss might all disagree with your assessment that twins are terrible at going around corners
