These are the two bikes Im looking at:
Triumph Street Triple
and
The Yamaha FZ8
I just dont see paying the extra $3-4k for the Triumph. This Yamaha seems Swiss Army knife Practical and hooligan fun. They all do wheelies. No women want to ride with me anyway-maybe to a coffee shop but that is it. im not buying a 2 seater. I want to take it up to Mulholland Dr and hooligan.
Help me decide.

I dont understand. The Street Triple is only 675 cc and the Yamaha is 779cc, yet motorcycle.com rates the Triumph higher. Im asking help from our engineering mechanic types. I had to ask what torque meant at the dealer today.

Sheet i just dont know that extra money may be worth it. Bonk its the way to live life until you end up dead from pushing something mechanical beyond the limits of sensibility with older reflexes.

Triumph and Victory are synonyms. Something is surely afoot.
what are they conquering? customers perhaps?
concentrate and be careful mo.

I was looking at the wrong bike. i was looking at Speed Triple instead of a Street Triple. The difference is only a couple thousand. Im going to spend the extra and get the Triumph. http://www.triumphmotorcycles.com/accessories/create-my-triumph

Good Choice MO. Resale on the Triumph will be higher too.
