New bike....... Not a triumph.

great looking bike, I am thinking of changing my SV650 K9 to Gixer 600. How does it compare ?

It does come in black. But I do like the contrast of the metal one.

LOL, it doesn't compare!

I'm not a fan of the way the 600 delivers it's power personally, but it's got plenty more of it than an SV if you ride it how it's intended to be ridden.

Everything else, suspension, brakes, handling; an SV is a great bike for what it is, but it's not even on the same playing field as a Gixxer.

I do agree, I like the contrast, but the black arrow can would look mint!

The power delivery on the k9 upwards is much better they sorted out the mid range so u havnt got to at the top of the rev range to get a move on
