Well, I honestly think the R3T is pretty good improvement in that regard over the standard R3, Dick. A rather big improvement, actually.

But then again, while the twin headlight arrangement on the Speed Triple took some time for me to get to like, I've always thought it never really looked right at all on the monster bike, as those tiny headlights make the front of it look "out of proportion" to the rest of it.

And I like the exhaust system and the new more symetrical gas tank on the tourer version much better also.

(BTW...maybe we better watch it here before one of our crack moderators deems this thread about Cycle World and it's bagger comparo in it as being worthy of being moved to the "Other Bike" forum, huh?!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
