LINK Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I am seriously considering one of the two. The price of the new 2010 with the dealer added accessories, speed screen, chin spoiler, seal cowl, and exhaust, looks like it will be close to $4K less than the new 2011 with no accessories added.What do you guys think, while taking into consideration the many upgrades the 2011 has seen compared to the 2010 with accessories, which would you choose?Thank you for the advice!

Rctaylor Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'd go with the 2010 with all the candy, and an Arrow exhaust.And still have money for a road trip somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Exactly.....save some cash AND mod the bike! No brainer man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motociclista Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 This is absolutely a no-brainer. Get the 2010. Last of the round headlights. They'll get rarer over time while the squinty headlights will get more common over time.OK, headlights aside and trying to be serious, I don't think the changes for 2011 are worth another $4k.Totally irrelevant aside: I went back and reviewed the changes, to refresh my memory, and laughed a little that one of the things that changed from 2010 to 2011 was they made the rear wheel larger, 6 inches instead of 5.5 inches, to better fit a 190 rear tire. Hmmm, just like the 6-inch wheel and 190 tire on my 1997 Speed Triple. Back to the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anden Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 10 and ask for the stock exhaust. Or hunt for the anniversary edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINK Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks for the replies, I was thinking the same thing, the 2010 is a better deal by far.If you were shopping for a new motorcycle, what would be your choice, Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha, Triumph, and what model?More than likely I will end up with the SV1000S, and the new bike I choose.The Triumph Thunderbird Storm I looked at today really caught my attention, I must be getting old.

LINK Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 10 and ask for the stock exhaust. Or hunt for the anniversary edition.Why ask for the stock exhaust?The aftermarket exhaust is not the Arrow exhaust, I forget what he said it was, it is a British Company who makes it, single exhaust that exits just behind the rider peg.Personally I think I might like the undertail exhaust better.

Rctaylor Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Probably a Yamaha Midnight Warrior and/or a large V-twin sportbike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINK Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 For our hypothetical.. what's our budget?Of course the best deal I can get, but with the brands mentioned they should all be close to my budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anden Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 It's the wolf trident exhaust. I would ask for the stock one because you could sell it. Or you could give it to ne I think that the stock exhaust is sexy as hell. Hence my only desire for a newer triple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 MSRP on the 2011 is $11,800, so if you're getting the 2010 for $7800.... excellent. If not, find a different dealership. My bet is that they're wanting $13+ for the 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could give it to ne I think that the stock exhaust is sexy as hell. Hence my only desire for a newer triple.Yeah I think that might be the exhaust, good point, other than giving it to you... Correction I think the pipe is from British Customs.MSRP on the 2011 is $11,800, so if you're getting the 2010 for $7800.... excellent. If not, find a different dealership. My bet is that they're wanting $13+ for the 2011.The 2011 is $11,799 plus tax & fees in stock form, The 2010 is $10,900 OTD, with all the accessories included, I do not know what that translates into if the 2010 was in stock form, my guess is around $8500, maybe less.If I added the accessories the 2010 has to the 2011, that is where the $4,000 dollar difference came from, my bad, I should have been more clear on that.

Likwid Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'd take the 2010 if I was shopping... modding is expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew95gt Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I don't think you could go wrong either way. The new triples look killer though, I really like the direction they went with the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstrosity Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Nightrod or Roadstar Warrior (midnight edition)Ninja 1000 or Z1000Speed Triple ST1300, FZ1 or 6 DRZ400SM or WR250XAll of those I wouldnt mind having... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoTGoD Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 2010...I have the 15th Anniversary Edition and love it. You won't regret it. I sat on the 2011 at the bike show in Cleveland and the riding position was a bit lower than mine, but overall it felt the same.I've got a MIVV Carbon GP exhaust on mine and I love the sound. The tune for it is looking to be a bit harder to get dialed in, but I'll get it eventually.Anden, you can have my stock exhaust pretty heap if you really want it. Its just collecting dust in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailwood Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Another vote for the 2010 with the accessories - the 2008+ models are already upgraded with improved FI and brakes from my 2006, which I already think is one of the best bikes I've ever ridden.One word of caution, once you hear the exhaust note from an aftermarket setup, you'll never be satisfied with stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
