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.i beleive the ST has lower gearing than the sprint which makes it quite lively up to 7k.
i expected it to be a bit of an animal as it's a 'bad boy' bike, but didn't even lift the front under a hard bit of 1st gear acceleration, unlike the fazer which launches upwards and onwards when it hits 7.5k in 1st.
though to be fair it came up perfectly well in second with a bit of clutch
