Fz1 2013 vs Mt 09 2015 vs Triumph Speed triple 2011??

[mmurasoli]

Hi all

I am planning to get a motorbike in two weeks. I owned a 2010 fz1 doe 4.5 years.

Fz1 is a used 2013 (got 600kms on it)
Mt09 brand new
Triumph speed triple 2011 (got 12,000kms on it)

I test ride a Mt09 on the weekend, was a big surprise, it's light weight, wheelies come off easily, but still not convinced me enough.

Any thoughts?? Please share.

I personally would be happy with the MT09 or the FZ1, I'd also modify both to my liking, neither are perfect off the showroom floor (Like any bike).

What do you plan on doing with it?

long tours - FZ1,
commuting and sport riding - MT09,
all of the above FZ1 then MT09.

Others may/will have other opinions.

I personally wouldn't get the triumph, I know too many with issues, and expensive to maintain (My dad just sold his and bought a 2015 Kwaka Versys).

Good luck with your decision.
