Cb1000r I had on loan for a few days was an ok bike but not brilliant.It was comfortable but the pegs were in the wrong place and the bars made my wrists ache.Engine was sweet but over 80 mph forget it.The handling was not that good.The speed triple r was simply fantastic, I kept looking for twisties it handled that good.My mate Dan followed me on my blade and said slow down I'm not used to yours yet.It was that easy to ride.Test ride them both and you will see what I mean.I don't think there is a naked bike out there as good as a speed triple r.
