If you rode them back to back, you'd be amazed at the different personalities. And the Tiger, another 800 triple, was very different as well.
The narrow corner is mostly out of necessity with a strong bit of personal bias. I realistically can't ride a sport bike or aggressive naked for very long (and typically we spend 4-8 hours of the day out riding), need something that will do 2-up, and I'm partial to Italian design. That limits me.
That said, I rode a buddy's MV F4 (first modern generation). While the ergos were sport bike, my legs actually were reasonably comfortable. And the engine - holy crap. Never felt anything like that before. Though I may test ride the new Tuono which I suspect will be a similar experience. You know you're in trouble when your bike has more hp than your car. One reason I like the Turismo - at 110 hp it isn't crazy over-powered and you can wring it out without breaking too many laws.
