Well, same owner, and both V-twin goodness!

Front fairing wise, is what I meant. They are oddly similar if you squint your eyes.

Maybe that's why I like 'em both?

Here are two short videos with engine sound and no music. They aren't the greatest quality. The video definitely sucks due to the angle of the camera. If I was going fast enough to get any engine sound, I was also leaned in some, which ruins the view. There is some wind noise, a lot actually. But you can hear the engine a little.

Mtorcyclist Online compared the '10 Z to the Speed Triple. Tough choice...

The last time I rode a Speed Triple was in '96, so I can't make a fair comparison between the two. The older Speed Triple reminded me of my '82 GS1100E. I'm sure the more modern ones are better.

I rode one last summer, I liked it. But I also like Buell.
