Author Message   Xl_cheese Posted on Friday, May 01, 2009 - 12:05 pm:        Have you seen the new issue of Super Street Bike? There is a shootout between a triumph triple, a Ducatti Monster 1100, and an 1125CR. I have not seen it yet, but have heard about it. Supposedly the triumph wins...   Georgehitch17 Posted on Friday, May 01, 2009 - 01:43 pm:        i tried to see if i could read the article online but no luck   Jmr1283 Posted on Friday, May 01, 2009 - 05:59 pm:        they had great words about the cr. it was very satisfing. im not sure why the truimph won. it really seemed like what they were saying about the buell out did the truimph. but i think previous opinions and personal prefrence came through. it wasnt biased but the very end did seem like it sorta. before i read the last part i was for sure the buell won. but all of a sudden they said the triumph one. maybe its the refined design. but they are ugly. and the ducati monster isnt that attractive either.   Scubarc51 Posted on Friday, May 01, 2009 - 07:42 pm:        Triumph is made in the UK Super street bikes mag in the UK if it was in America the Buell probally would of won http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMTJo8DHvww here a road test   Brent1125russ Posted on Friday, May 01, 2009 - 08:58 pm:        I agree that the Triumph is probably a better rounded bike than the Ape or the Buell; but the Buell is just way way way more fun to ride. In the end it's all about personal preference; if someone wants a stable/predictable/easy bike to ride, they can buy the Triumph. If someone wants a nasty pit-bull on steroids give you perma-grin fun bike, they can buy the Buell.   Kttemplar Posted on Friday, May 01, 2009 - 11:42 pm:        A similar comparo was done in Jan '09. They just used the Aprilia Tuono 1000R instead of a Duc. http://www.motorcycle.com/shoot-outs/2009-streetfi ghters-shootout-aprilia-tuono-1000-r-buell-1125cr- triumph-speed-triple-87798.htm Mike   Usmoto Posted on Saturday, May 02, 2009 - 05:56 am:        I traded an '07 speed triple for my 25r. Triple was an awesome bike but couldn't afford to own both.   Freight_dog Posted on Saturday, May 09, 2009 - 04:29 pm:        I don't really read Super Street Bike because it is all slammed and stretched 'Busa's with chrome spikes and skullghostflame paintjobs. No, it is not a British mag, it is 'Murican.   Scubarc51 Posted on Sunday, May 10, 2009 - 01:25 pm:        AH, i was thinking of Steet Bikes Mag
