For modern Triumph triples I still like the old 955 Daytona.220 pounds lighter than the new R3 and faster thru the 1/4, although not much.A seasoned motorcycle drag racer on a new stock R3 managed 10.7 sec and 124 mph.The best time I've seen for the old 02-07 Daytona 955 was 10.2 seconds and 134 mph.The new Speed Triple must be in there somewhere as well. It is also quite light, similar to the Daytona 955 or a bit less. Triumph is always trimming.Even the hefty new R3 is about 80 pounds lighter than the first gen version.All plenty fast, but who really wants to ride a 640 pound dry weight motorcycle. Not me.Don't even want to push one around the shop.Glen
