Stuck bikeless

Toly · January 28th, 2015, 12:46 PM

I can't decide between these two... which one would U pick?

csmith12 · January 28th, 2015, 12:52 PM

As much as I like the yammi, I would have to go with the triumph. Hard to go wrong either way though.

Skullz · January 28th, 2015, 02:18 PM

Triumph

ninjamunky85 · January 28th, 2015, 02:42 PM

Neither since I'm not into naked bikes.

But if I were into naked bikes then I'd pick the Triumph, although probably not in that color.

Bigballsofpaint · January 28th, 2015, 02:57 PM

Id snag a 00-13 z1000, or.......superduke. Wasnt happy with the fz9 i rode, havent rode a street triple though.

Sirref · January 28th, 2015, 03:04 PM

Triumph, the street triple r is one of my dream bikes because it looks and sounds amazing in addition to having great handling and good linear power.

I can second the z1000 though, those are also sexy af

This yammi doesn't feel right to me, it feels almost like a bigger dirt bike with the way the tank is shaped and the suspension doesn't match up to the power that's being put down at all. The first is a personal preference and the second can be fixed with aftermarket parts though. Regardless it's just not my cup of tea anyway

Yami-ye-hawwwww!

Hero Danny · January 28th, 2015, 03:58 PM

triumph looks like it was a full fairing bike that was crashed and then turned into a naked bike....

In other words... go with the yami, it's pretty.

Finesse · January 28th, 2015, 07:46 PM

ugh neither

get a naked SV

Roark · January 28th, 2015, 08:28 PM

The Triumph is a better motorcycle, the Yamaha is a better value. Pick your poison.

liberpolly · January 28th, 2015, 09:30 PM

Definitely a Triumph

Toly · January 29th, 2015, 05:01 AM

i can get a good discount on the Triple but not on the 07:

I could get Yammi for $7800 OTD, and Triumph for $9600 OTD, and then receive a Triumph's voucher for accessories / apparel for $500.

Still, I like both.

jkv45 · January 29th, 2015, 07:55 AM

If cost isn't a big concern, get the Triumph Street Triple - but go for the "R" version.

ForceofWill · January 29th, 2015, 08:42 AM

FZ-09. Gonna be my next bike. For the price difference in the triple you can completely upgrade the suspension and do a couple other mods to the FZ-09.

That's my thinking. I mean, the triple is ~2 grand more. + he gets that $500 voucher which can be spent on an exhaust or suspension. I'd definitely take the FZ-09 with 2k in mods over stock triple. I guess it comes down to personal preference of looks, OP, have you sat on both bikes?

Hero Danny · January 29th, 2015, 10:25 AM

People say the FZ-09 engine is amazing, but the only problem is the ergos, suspension, etc.

You can easily upgrade the ergos and still have the awesome engine. Just my .02

Ok let me ask you this: if it were between the Street Triple and the FZ09, which would you pick? Has anyone ridden both?
