i think the KTM and the Triumph may be more similarly priced now?

the Tuono I tried was the old one and was slightly cheaper back then - the newer V4 version i've not tried.
The triumph cert handles better than the FZS1000 but feels little more 'punchy' up to around 60 odd mph and less 'punchy' over 70 or so. It's a fine engine though with more character/involvement etc and the bike steers way better, esp at low speeds, with the forks (the FZS' weakest point perhaps?) telling you way more about what's going on...
But, really, this is all very subjective stuff - best advice is to go and try one and see for yourself, and also try a few other bikes as well (def the KTM and the Honda).

Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."
