Occupying my garage at one point was a Honda 919, while my buddy had a Street Triple R. Both are true sportbikes featuring; premium tires, short wheelbases, and engines that love to be revved to the limiter. The fact that they sport a more upright riding position just means you're in a more-relaxed rider triangle, and your chest is up in the wind.
The CB11 by comparison is a stately cruiser--it just loves to be ridden at a sedate pace. It'll boogie, but unlike your Street Triple, its engine isn't always whispering in your ear, "Come on...twist that throttle harder!"
