Want a Street Triple next year, looks good and from all the reports goes good as well. Would love a speed triple but would be wasted on my usual journey.

Four for me.

That said its not really fair to compare the SV to an R6. Maybe if i rode a better twin?

I do miss the engine breaking, but i love the 'feed me more revs' howl from the R6.

I thought triples were big with you guys over there?? we had a big push for v-4s in the 80 and 90s. I just read something where honda is going to release a v-5 for street use. the big v twins are a fad here. most who drive them would not know what a I4 was. The HD cruiser fad..... oh well it gave us the SV....I have owned numerous I4 and this is my first V twin I must admit it does have certain advantages for street use that the I4 do not have.

I love V twins but in a perfect world I would have a high revving,cutting edge V-4 over anything else. There is every chance there might be 1 or 2 to tempt us all from next year onwards. (They have to have some payback from all those development $ spent in Moto GP,simple really)
