Buy a sv and pootle round on that first would be my advice, then look at buying the triple

Its hard for me to pay monthly... i just about convinced my dad to let me pay monthly on a contract phone, let alone insurance on an expensive bike (im 17, i cant pay monthly myself)

Its just such a cost to pay for theft cover. Its not even a reasonable cost. £450 TPO on an SV, but £1200 TPFT?!

New parts from Triumph probably won't be that different from Suzuki, however in the UK (for the Daytona 675 anway) they have the T3 challenge so at the start of the season, picking up stock footpegs, levers, plastics etc. off ebay is cheap as, bru! |
I would be pretty careful, especially on a bike that costs a lot of money.
