    I'd be more interested in seeing a 1000 Super Sport Bike comparison . Or a 1200 cc V twin Panigale R

    I agree with with J TNT. The Triumph is a nice bike but i would rather see the TT run against a liter sbk or a Panigale R.

    The Triumph blue the start and still was a match. Put that Viper up against a STOCK BMW 1000RR and the Viper will

    and the viper will________ (what?)

    This was not letting the nuts hang out; shifting between 4-5K on low boost and slow on the throttle.

    The triumph isn't a litre bike by any stretch but still a bike. They are capable of mid 10s at 130mph in stock form. Typically much easier to launch a bike on the street than a high hp turbo car. That was my experience from my street bike days.

    Why do people think bikes are unbeatable? This Viper should trap 140mph or which is a lot faster than this particular bike is capable of.

    Yeah, bikes are definitely beatable... but they are tough! In a straight line, a bike's advantage is at low speeds and launching.

    I had a Triumph 675 before the Viper. I know my Gen III wouldn't beat that bike, I downgraded in terms of speed going from that to my Viper!

    If the car was a G2, would there still be naysayers hovering like a group of vultures. Why is it that a certain group always has negative G5 comments no matter what the thread is.

    Why should anyone put up a positive G5 post knowing it will draw negative posts. Take a look at the Alley ' s G5 post volume, there is none, the same could happen here. The travesty is that the majority of these posters have no skin in the game.

    BECAUSE BENCHRACERS.

    Just like with cars, finding a fast bike with a fast rider, is rare. Most are over-biked for their skill level.

    Isn't the news in this the TT gen5?

    Who cares about the bike, let alone a 600. Been riding & tracking liter sport bikes since 1987 myself, they're fast, so are fighter planes, and sky divers, and ..

    Cool to see a TT gen5, would love to see it at a track & showing some #s, vs a few suicide midnight back road runs. lol

    Yes, that we know of. The red RSI build with the rollcage, this white one, and the other member-built car here.

    They are sourcing my AEM Infinity harness, and did the tuning on my Gen 3. They tune all my cars. Someone has to be first

    Make sure they have the ecu figured out! That's the hard part on these cars! <speaking from gen 4 experience>

    Have to claim some kind of "problem" The RR stock is a 9.9/147 Rocket. $15000 Bucks. And to Jack, I do have skin in the game. Have had an SRT Trk/Pac and now a 2014 TA. My 7th Viper. Also have an RR. Obviously different animals. Allan
