I know its not a V-twin, but the Triumph Speed Triple is a hell of a bike.

Ridden
Sp1
RSVR 04+
TL1000R
and a brief go on a 999s

Best bike would definatly be the RSVR, not quite sure on the older models but the 04+ ones are brillant.

TLR's are good too,(and cheap ) but you really need one with a sorted rear shock because the rotary one sucks.

Theres not a huge choice of proper sports V-Twins. They've all been posted above.

I had a similar problem and choose the SP1, It's a good machine. It's one of the better V-Twins with real race pedigree.


I've posted this a few times, it's the only decent V-Twin shootout/comparison I found when searching

Like with anything though, test ride them all.

Id be intrerested to know why your limiting yourself to V twins. What do you think they would give you over a square 4 or any other arrangement? People often say torque but to be honest you have to be a damn good rider to be able to use the torque difference a twin has over a 4 cylinder bike and nowadays that difference is very small, what with power commandos and the like their isn't much difference.
If on the other hand it's because of cash, service costs etc then fair enough.
