Triumph Speed Triple ......no steering damper, felt wobbly - upright position beats you to death - supension way too soft - power was disappointing.

NO NO NO!!! I love Triumphs so the bike MUST be great! You are just an asshole that didn't know how to ride the bike correctly!!!! It never ceases to amaze me when someone can be so in love with a brand that they can't/won't see it's short comings. I have done it myself. I loved my V-Max and I would defend it to the end against my friends that owned CBR900RRs, which was the bike to own at the time. Eventually, I had to admit and realize that although it was a cool bike, it could not compete with crotch rockets on their turf.

Buell came on the scene claiming that he had built a better sport bike...I'm sorry but that was not the case and in my opinion, was never the case. Sure if you traded in a 600 for a new 1125R, you may be happy but I couldn't imagine dropping my 1000 for one. Almost everyone I know that owns a Buell and that is satisfied, used to ride a 600 or some cruiser. I have never met a guy that traded in a liter bike on a Buell.
