Should I buy a 2016 Speed Triple R?
Discussion
Currently riding a 5 month old Ducati Diavel dark stealth, in some ways the best bike I've had, in some ways the worst.
Main bad point is the appallingly stiff suspension, especially the front, can't dial it out sadly. Still love the noise, power and general attitude of it. Tiring of the twin vibrations too now
So I took a 2016 speed triple r out for a demo ride today and loved it. It's noticeably better than the previous one, handling is superb and it's soooo smooth
I've had a 955 and a 2008 1050 before and loved those
Other options;
S1000R - not ridden one but tried an xr and appreciated the brilliance but it bored me a bit, lacked something
Tuono 1100 - not ridden but tried a 1000 last year and it's a great bike, but worried about reliability/support?
MT10 - not usually a jap bike fan, but quite like the sound of these
Oh what to do............I think I'm a speed triple man but the internet says it's not the best bike.................

This was one of the main reasons i sold my Speed Triple REven with the Ohlins set soft, it was too much for everyday use on the road (for me anyway)
I've decided I'm going to get the Speed Triple R - just need to decide new or used.
Cheers for the input all!
