I too like the Triumph triples. I spent a lot of time on a Sprint RS which I thought was a great bike, and the engine was very nice. Still, at the time I more enjoyed the Italian twins.
As to the KTMs, I have tried pretty much all their big twins and I am not a fan. When I first tried the Super Duke I was actually really disappointed because all the magazines had made it out to be this incredible beast, and I thought it was only so-so. Then I tried the Corsaro, and I found out what a twin should really be like! Also, I really wanted an RC8. I had been reading about it, loved the looks, and figured as a sports bike it should be perfect for a tall person like me. Well, I suppose the early models lacked refining, but there again it was just no. I had the money ready, but left the shop without the bike.
