Having lots of time on my Super Duke, it's no surprise to see it on the list. It's perhaps the best handling street bike I've ever ridden. I'm not sure how to explain a heavier, more poorly suspended Triumph trumping it other than typical Brit-bias.

pffft. what do you expect when you ask a bunch of brits what "handles" the best ? of course they are gonna cry about how their triumph is the best thing on two wheels. not impressed.

Tards FTW!
I'm not at all surprised to see two KTM's on the list. KTM owns WP Suspension, and their stuff is TOP shelf, easily on par with Ohlins or Penske. I love the way my KTM handles.

I am vertical challenged (ie I'm a gal), like to on "un-improved" roads and need enough power to commute on the interstate.... which doesn't leave me with many (affordable) options: the DR does the trick

I don't understand why the Street Four was even in the test.
Do they even produce those any more? They aren't on Triumph's website.
