In terms of strengths, the S 1000 R is praised for its sporty chassis, extreme power and performance, excellent electronic helpers, and a great price/performance ratio. It is known for being fast and comfortable on both racetracks and country roads. On the other hand, the Speed Triple is highly regarded for its versatility, being able to navigate easily in city traffic while also being incredibly fast when needed. It has a rev-happy and powerful engine, a top quickshifter, and precise handling.

In terms of weaknesses, the S 1000 R is criticized for its slightly rough engine running, and the dynamic suspension control (DDC) system is considered to be on the "hard" side overall.

The Speed Triple, on the other hand, has a quickshifter that is considered good but not perfect, and the sound of the bike can be intrusive. Some riders also experience vibrations in the handlebars.

In conclusion, both the BMW S 1000 R 2014 and the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2022 are powerful and capable naked bikes with their own strengths and weaknesses.
