Triumph 1050 Striple vs Gen1 (modded)

[Falcon 269]

I've not ridden the 1050 Speed Triple but I've tried the 1050 Sprint and Tiger versions.  The much-vaunted triple bottom end punch must have passed me by because I didn't find anything to excite in either motor.  Of course, the Speed Triple makes more power than the Tiger and the Sprint is quite weighty but even so, I'd take a well-sorted Gen 1 over any of these three.
