I need your input

Here are the bikes I'm looking at. One will be my purchase this winter. What do you think and why?

1) BMW R1200GS - A bit pricey, but sweet bike.

2) Triumph Tiger 1050i - Great bang for the buck.

3) Suzuki V-Strom 1000 - Cheapest on the list.

I'm voting for the Triumph Tiger. I've had a thing for this bike since I first saw one.

I'm curious as to what others have to say, especially since I think you and I have already spent about 8 hours discussing this..

Triumph all day long.It still looks kind-of sporty yet comfortable.the other two look weird.

Good call. I was talking about that bike the other night. I added it.

I definitely like the Triumph.

Brandon(Gixxie750) has the V strom and he loves it to death though..

I've heard really good things about it. I just don't think I could own a Suzuki.

[cbrjess0815]

Yea he swears he will never sell it. He wants it to be his son's first bike.. But he is a zuki freak!

the Suzuki looks like a scooter

See, that's what I was thinking. The Triumph just has this sexiness about it. Honestly though, I think I could own any of them and be quite happy. That's the problem. I can't freaking decide. But I am leaning towards the Tiger.

[yotaman88210]

Haha! Yes! I win!

Seriously tho, its a tuff call

[zerocrash]

I love the BMW. I like the looks of the Truimph but I've never ridden it. The Suzuki is basically a cheaper alternative to those two, but is still a great bike.

I don't know man..

if you get the duc, make sure you get it in white

none because they are all ugly as sin

Get the VStrom. Better aftermarket.

Big fan of the 'zuki V-twin.

I'd heard that, but can't prove it. I tried. The Triumph has pretty much just as much stuff made for it. And the Triumph looks a lot cooler.
