love them both but for different reasons the twin is easier to ride quickly but when u really rev the 4 its frightingly fast but i do find it harder work. dabz if your down salisbury in the next week your more than welcome to take my rsv factory for a spin before i let it go
There's an offer you shouldn't resist Dabz, go for it!Quote:

Until you get the sensation of a piston trying to hammer out of its cylinder you haven't lived. My friend has just bought a Bennelli Tornado (900cc triple) but also owns a GSX1400 which is very smooth against the head banging triple.
No ones mentioned singles?
20 years a go I had the Suzuki DR750 single which was OK but bits kept falling off through vibration.
Also not all bike characteristics are the same a Rocket III (2300 triple) is a lot smoother than the Bennelli

so if I like lots of torque without having to use all the revs, I should really be riding a twin or a triple then...should've asked this before buying a four lol :P may go test ride the daytona triple, not that I can afford it at the mo!
Question is m1tch...which one did you like the best and why? ;)
Dabz plenty out there, though most of them in custard yellow lol....try and go for 2003 onwards as they got 155bhp...ones before that much less (120bhp I think?) though still good for 140mph :)
have a twin and a four in the garage have decided to sell the twin but a tough choice just find the four amazing when u rev it hard should be even better when the mods are done
i cant really say they were all good ive also owned a ducati 996 which isnt pictured. the sp1 and 2 were really good handling bike but i loved the duc its, hard to say its just what you get on with.
