Speed Triple or the Sprint. The specs look the same but triple is about 50 pounds lighter.

The Triple is lighter as it does not have the fairings. I am thinking the gear ratio is the same too. I dunno, I would bet on the lighter bike in the 1/4 and the bike with the fairing flat out due to its ability to cut the wind.
I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.

Having just ridden both of them, I would agree. The sprint is probably a little easier to ride really fast due to the fairing.

Don't know what you're doing there...usually it's the girl who I brought home the night before whose head starts bobbing when I wake up.
