Yeah, nice lookin' tic-tac. To be a lean teenager again. (*sigh*)
Yes, my poor old bones wouldn't last on that type of bike, clip-ons are not for me anymore. I can just about get away with the Daytona for a day with my converted LSL Superbike bars.

Reminds me of a 2006 Yamaha FZ-1

For some reason speed and street triples that I've had a chance to spend time with both had a tendency to become very turbulent at around 120mph.
And sure, it does have that air of big nakeds with bikini fairings, like a Bandit 1250 or a TL1000 or a VTR1000, very few exist nowadays, my mind goes to Aprilia Tuono, or r1250rs
'14 CB1100 STD 5 speed
More good comparisons, forgot about the TL1000, the V-Strom motor donator.
