Thanks Tom, nice!

I after reading this and watching the movie at the bottom of the page, I am now almost certain I`ll be riding Triumph very soon

This review here made me feel better about the suspension and brakes... even though they`re a step down from the Daytona, they`re apparently still "good".

I can`t wait... that engine sounds crazy! it rings like a jet engine

The Street Triple friggin' rips. I was lucky enough to ride one and couldn't believe the power it made. It has enough low~mid you don't need to rev high but it's fun as hell to do anyway. The suspension seemed good to me and there's always racetech if it needs beefed up sometime in the future.

It makes more HP and torque than any FZ6. I don't know what the earlier post about it making less was all about. The torque is what it's all about though.

It's a great package IMO. I was impressed with how light it felt and of course they sound awesome.

The big score: anyone, any sex, over 75 years old has been upped to 100 points.

Thanks for the review Pelon! low end torque is pretty much what I am looking for right now, so this`ll work great!

Yeah it does. The sound alone is crack for the ears. My little nephews said it sounded electronic. I am seriously worried that my FZ is going to continue to be severely neglected. It's all mopey and sad lately, feeling unwanted, and didn't like it at all when I removed its grip puppies and put them on the D.

I thought you were going to wrap the daytona in soft blankets, crate it, and lock it in a sealed room as a 'collectible'.
