been window shopping for bikes for a while now and come down to looking at the GSX S1000F and the Triumph Street Triple.
I'm interested in a great all around bike and both of these offer performance and comfort. The GSX offers Superbike power and good looks IMHO. the street triple gives up a little comfort and power but has sharper handling, a good ***** less weight, and better MPG. Also a new 765cc model will be coming next year.
I see a top of potential in the GSX with a couple grand put into it and it looks more comfortable for highway riding or longer trips with the extra wind protection and with some exhaust mods and a good shock it could be as powerful as a super bike and as comfortable and good handling as you could get considering its hefty weight which is about 100 lbs more. I really like the idea of a comfortable sport bike with 155 RWHP after tuning.
The Street Triple does not have the long distance comfort of the GSX but its motor puts out usable torque in a fun lightweight sharp chassis. It won't have the crazy power of the GSX but it will rev out well and be a more visceral ride.
would love to hear your opinions
