I am gonna be in so much trouble on this one.

If its your first bike, you don't know if you will ride a lot, love it, hate it, or just won't care, after the novelty wears off.

You get much more technology with the EFI and Belt Drive for less money. For your first bike, shop bang for the buck. Also you will drop your first bike on its side at less than 5 mph at least once. Well 1/2 of us did that anyhow. The dealer network and down time of the Japanese bike will be better for the cosmetic repairs.

When you discover you love riding, sell that silly Yamahondakawasuki and buy a Triumph later. You will appreciate it more once you drove a bike with no soul


I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
