In August's fast bikes mag they have a naked test, 08SDR, Tuono, Moto Morini, Ducati S4RS Tricolore, Triumph Speed Triple, The SDR wins the test which is V good news, but this comment (second opinion as they call it really sums the bike up)
''This bike handled fantastically well on test, it's like a rapier, sything through turns. However the seat may as well be made of plastic, and the whole bike is bloody hard. The real bugbear this time was the sick throttle, with some of the worst low speed jerk i've ever experienced. Describing it as 'horrific' is being kind.................''
