The Tuono will be much more forgiving for that long of a trip, and the triple will not. knee angle will not be nice
One thing that might be a deciding factor is comfort for longer trips - i.e. which has the more aggressive riding position. I like to go on long rides, visiting my folks in TN, etc.
Any input?
I'm a huge fan of the new Tuono with the RSV4 engine in it. I'd pick that over the Street Triple hands down.

Cool website, can input bar risers and your height etc to see effects on angles it would have
If your budget allows it, buy both! I would hate for you to buy one or the other and regret your decision!

very relevant. the guy that works across the street from me has a Speed3 and hates taking it on long trips because it hurts his back also i am in TN, the hills make a bike like either very fun especially near knoxville. hes not very tall, about 5'10'' but the tuono appears to be even more aggressive. as far as sound he has an Arrow pipe and it sounds amazing also noted is the 1050cc motor not the petty 675 like a couple have referred it to have. and in terms of reliability the triumph has the ape beat 100:1.
