roxynoodle Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I am biased, too, because I have a Triumph, but this is a great all around bike. The torque is downright addictive. I think tall riders would like it, too, because my knees don't even touch the tank, lol! It's plenty roomy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big3 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I have to say that the Fz1 may be the best all around bike ever made,Wut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicked94s10 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Like I said best all around, Great power across the board, Great handling, comfortable riding position, good fuel mileage and fuel range for touring. Its kinda like a honda but better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzer Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I think an fz1 or an sv1000 would suit you well, I'm obviously slightly biased but have ridden both and either should fit you decently and allow for plenty of "fun" riding. Also they are both available stupid cheap in modern fuel injected form. 06+ fz1 or 03-07 sv1000, either can cost you around 5k or less with low mileage(some sub-4k). Ride as many of the bikes suggested obviously and pick the one that fits you best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motociclista Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I have also been considering the triumph 955i but don't know anything about them.As others have already said, the 955 Triumphs are a good choice. They can be bought cheap, they're strong (my Speed Triple has 87k+ miles with no serious repairs), a little less cramped than the R1/ZX10R crowd, sound great, cool SSSA, etc. Of course they're not as fast or light as the R1/ZX10R crowd, either. Some have suggested the FZ1. I personally liked the first version, but that one's not fuel-injected. Gen 2, fuel-injected, I liked less. YMMV. Lots of good options out there and it's still mainly a buyer's market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked94s10 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Really there are many good bikes out there, I think the biggest thing with buying a new bike is making sure you get a bike that fits your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
