I'm liking the street triple, but only with the low arrow cans. It's a bit funny looking but it seems like a great package, so I'm not going to test ride one

I think that's why I fancy the scrambler though TBH, for the days when you just fancy a leisurely bimble on a sunny day. Oh if could afford two bikes...

Aha, you'll be referring to Orrell Motorcycle Centre i take it? I've been there many a day picking up the odd bit or bob and having a drool at the shiny new metal!

Trouble is they also deal in Kwaks and Aprilia's - I'm wondering if a day of back-to-back testing on the Z750, Shiver 750 and Street Triple is possible?

Decisions, decisions...

Very nice bike Moto!
I love the look of the matt paint but wonder if it shows the marks and scratches more so than gloss?? Could look very tatty in a years time!

Anybody know if matt painted bikes wear well?

Good point rhythmjunkie i had thought about that issue.

I was speaking to a guy with a kwak zx6r in the matt bronzey/silver color a while ago who said it was a b1tch to keep looking clean. Purely anecdotal evidence on my part though...
