My opinion is you really need to narrow it down by more than just under 33". Sure there are taller bikes, but most fall in under 33" for sure. Your list has some very cool bikes on it for sure, personally I'd take the shiver off the list as I don't think it's all that compared to the others. The Tiger is very neat but certainly not a Tuono V4, or even Speed Triple. You might add the Ninja 1000 to your list as well.....bike seems to be very popular lately.

Most street bikes will come in under 33 unless they have adventure pretensions or it's a Ducati. |

You're going to need some more criteria than just seat height. Nearly every "street bike" on the planet comes in under than number save for a few exceptions.

I would narrow your picks down to the Aprilia Tuono V4 and Triumph Speed Triple, in that order. Then put the ninja 1000 in front of those.
