They are at a level all their own. I just made a 300 mile ride around the Blue Ridge Mountain area with a group made up of 2 BMW LTs, Ninja, Speed Triple and me on my TBA. Both BMW and T3 riders are long time riders, numerous track days etc., but the pace those big BMs kept was amazing. These are tight 2lanes, the Speed3 rider said at one switch back he was riding hard enough to be locking the front tire to make the transition. ABS and huge torque numbers make those BM's deceptively fast. As Benny observed, one of the BM riders previous bike was Triumph Trophy.
Ride safe,
