Complimentary bikes for fz1

[dduck]

I test drove the triumph 1050 GT & ST, the newer GT had a much better riding position and a lot to like but didn't have that top end rush that makes the FZ so much fun.

Also took out the ducati 848 street fighter, was underwhelmed. The Diavel was insane, but I don't want to pay 15K for a bike that will be worth <10k in 2 yrs.

I have a 2012 Bonneville T100 and it is a great small bike lots of fun to ride and tons of parts and accessories to modify. They are priced right and might serve as a nice second bike depending on what you are looking for. I have two other sport bikes right now and this really is a nice change of pace bike.

I posted some pics when I picked it up new back in Febuary of this year.

Good Luck with the search, I have a the bug myself and I am not sure if I will be adding or trading up, I am thinking about an adventure bike such as the Triumph Explorer or Ducati MS, or maybe a sport tourer like the Triumph Sprint 1050. Its just a lot of fun to look and test ride if nothing else.

the 1050 suspension has a lot to be desired as well

You didn't test the Hypermotard?!

Not yet, I didn't realize what a bad ass bike it was until recently. Generally the dealer only has a couple of bikes available to demo.

I look forward to your ride report then
