Can one of you good folks over in the motherland post up a scan of the naked test in this latest BIKE mag - it has tweaked my interest.... Again I can't wait the extra month...
New BIKE mag anyone?

#4I have the test above but I don't have a scanner.
It's not really worth having though. Tuono wins, mainly due to its excellent track performance (it is a bashed up RSV after all). The Triumph Speed Triple was rated as the best street bike.

#5Excellent news, will keep the types who believe everything they read off of the SD

#6The latest TWO had a street bike test which was quite good, the SD and Speed Triple were their favourite two bikes, the Street Triple came in top because they felt it was easier to live with but the funny thing is that the reasons they put the SD second was all the reasons I love it for, ie more focussed and hooliganistic.

#9Thanks!
So they knocked other bikes out on the way to the final four??? Did they really knock out the MV Brutale on the cover???

#11WOW I thought they would go for the grunt and handling...
I have spent a few days on my mates BrutaleR and it is an incredible machine with huge twin like torque [for a four]. I agree though - vibes through the bars so much I had pins and needles for 15 minutes after each ride... And yes handling is rock hard [I assume for the track] but it is adjustable?? And yes you have to be a midget with size 7 feet to find it comfortable...

#12...the tester guy has forgot that SD has six gears when they've tested acceleration.
"It's no surprise that the perky Yamaha and mighty Aprilia head the bunch.."
Hah. Tuono did 11.76, what happens to be 0.9 sec slower than SD's true potential!
"Given the lively feel and short gearing, the eager KTM disappoints"
Yeah, sure.
