What bike do you want today?

[Cortez]

For once.. I'd like to have a supersport with bar risers, please.



..and I'd replace my 300cc maxi scoot with something 125-150cc with FI, 100MPG please.

[PeteN95]

I would go with the one that has the footpegs in the correct position (below seat). 70mpg would be great, but I think for less $ I would go with the 15 more HP, 2500 more rpm, and 1 more front disc that is offered on the Versys.

You picked the wrong one.



Someday soon, before I go all old-man-guzzi, I'm going to own one of Triumph's 675 triples.

And this:

[Super Sneaky Steve]

Here's my short list.

Guzzi V7 Stone
KTM690
Triumph Thruxton or Speedmaster
CB1100
EX300

It's really hard for me to pick. I have a 919 now and it's so perfect that any bike I choose will be lacking in some area. There's no clear upgrade.

But it does sort of lack character and it's not a twin. My perfect bike has to be a single or a twin.

The Triumph "Street Tracker" thread is very interesting too.

Naah, I like the 675 but I'd pick the least track oriented 600 if I was in
the market for one. That used to be the CBR or GSXR, probably is the
new 636 now.

The 675 costs more here then the GSX-R 750, and almost as much as some 1000cc bikes.
That won't fly.

I figure the whole point of a 600 SS is getting a track oriented one.

I have the impression you and I could sit around over a couple dozen beers, and not agree on one single thing. It'd be fun though.

This morning, as six inches of snow falls on my fair city, I want one of these:

I'll never ride on a track, but I would appreciate top of the line (or close)
brakes and suspension, just would like it moderately comfortable around
town and for light touring.

There's supposedly a huge difference in comfort between some of the
600's.

I've ridden only 2004 636 - that's no good.
Tried a 2008 or so CBR1k (blade) - that's even worse.

But people keep telling me that 2006-08 CBR600 is very nice, and
most say that GSXRs are the most comfortable for normal riding
(any of them).

NCR Ducati, please:

Check out a Street Triple. Might be just what you're looking for.

I got a sudden boner for this bike again just today. It's a really comfy machine for me.

Not in Croatia.
None on the used market, no dealerships.

Would probably fit like a glove.

That's what I use mine for. Tail pack, backpack, tank bag, I'm good to go with 5 days of clean clothes and tons of tools and such. I'll try and find a pic of it geared up and ready to ride. Heck, I even replaced the Supercorsa SPs with Pilot Road 3s because of the miles I have been doing. 500 mile days are fine on the stock set up assuming one has some discipline and core strength.
