I voted for Aprilia but just had a thought, what about the new GSX-F 650 bandit ? its getting some good reviews, apparently the suspension is lousy on the kwak

I test rode the Street at 10am this morning. I want one but the Triumph dealer told me 6 month waiting list. Deposit paid now playing the waiting game.

The Shiver is okay but the Street and Hornet are better bikes. The new GSXF is a great bike but more expensive and a lot heavier (and not so naked).

fair enough...

though considering the fact that i can't afford either a street triple or the daytona i'd rather think that i'd have to wait a long time for one anyway
