I am reading the TT is quicker turning than the Ss? Is this true and can anyone say how much slower it tips in than the regular 12S and how much faster than the Ss?

The Super TT definitely handles better that I would have expected given its taller suspension and the "non-sportbike" looking tires. I LOVE the way my TT can carve a smooth curve, make small or large adjustments mid-corner, rail through rough or broken pavement at speeds that would have upset the chassis of my previous sportbikes.

I spoke to one of the Buell guys at Homecoming, and he explained that since the Super TT was designed for a single rider, Buell was able to tune the suspension to handle more conditions well than some of the other models that are set up for rider and passenger. All I know is that the TT handles better than any other bike I've owned in the last 30 years.

If you are interested in the angles, you can find them all on the Buell website. Anecdotally, there was enough difference between the three (when I test rode them) that I could appreciate the difference in geometry. For me, the STT hit the sweet spot.

Looking at those numbers again, I don't understand the hard contact numbers for the STT. 53 degrees right and 46 degrees left? No other model has this big of discrepancy. Is there a misprint here? What's hitting?
