GS500?

Add me to the list of praisers for the GS500, I just purchased one as my first bike and it has been quite manageable and even forgiving when I made a mistake or two.

As said before, reliable, been around sicne the stone age, comfy, good to learn on, parts out the arse. What more could you want for a first bike.

Am I crazy for wanting a Triumph Daytona 675, I am looking for a upgrade for when I hit my full license, I am not really keen about jumping onto a 1000cc machine but I am looking for something with a decent bit of HP but light and nimble as well.

Here in Aust the Daytona is cheaper then a GSXR600 to buy new, and the 09 models have the Triumph ahead of the GSXR in power and weight. I don't see a down side really, aside from the possibilities of horrible reliability due to the british factor.

Is this bike worth considering, it just looks so dam good I think I am in love.

This is the Daytona 675 SE, I pretty much want this exact bike, exact colours and wheels and everything.

In NSW (and probably most other states but I have no idea) its max 660cc with a power to weight ratio of under 150kW/tonne.

The man is spot on, I am in NSW and that is my restriction currently. Right now I ride a 2004 Suzuki GS500.
