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



Nuh-uh! I'll take the shicka-shicka-shicka of my chain over the whine of a common belt drive any day.

So, you drop the bike, you pick her up, apologize to her profusely, kiss her to make the boo-boo better, pop a band-aid over the scratch....

Go with heart. Hearts deserve to win. It's your first bike, make it special.
