May I ask you, where do you park your bike in NYC? Not the actual location! What I mean is, I can’t imagine you would trust leaving it out in the streets. I just got a bike and I’m trying my damndest to figure out where to leave it. I don’t want to leave it on the street but I can’t really find a parking garage that allows motorcycles park in them.

Awesome that you've got both bikes. I find that switching between multiple bikes (especially of different types) really makes me appreciate each bike that much more. Congrats!

Good review. It looks like your suspension is a tad firm, saw you getting bumped out of the seat at one point. The R has a softer set up, and if you only notice the power difference at the top end, is it worth the extra $?

I've been thinking of buying a 765rs or a gen4 mt09, both are almost the same price (in Costa Rica) I'll be using the bike as an daily driver and the roads here are not that good, because of that I'm leaning towards the mt a bit more because of the softer suspension, but the triumph has a 3 year warranty without a limit of miles, it will be aswell my 1st ever big bike, im coming from a 450, I've heard that if i start in the 765rs I'll get spoiled with the nicer suspensión and nicer breaks that i won't even use to their 60% capability The Mt what i don't like is the prices is listed at, the same or almost the same as the steet triple which is a better bike all around, just concerned about reability for being a daily driver doing around 13k miles a year (or more)
@TheRiceRocketeer14 күн бұрын
I would go MT for the sole reason that a daily bike should be reliable and sturdy. I have had zero problems with my Triumph, but cannot argue that Yamaha (or any of the big 4) can basically run on corn oil and be good to go. The STRS is a really a track bike, and as you said, has premium parts. It's a bit overkill for a daily, but could certainly do the job. Going Yamaha will mean that you can service it practically anywhere, easily find parts, and not be worried thrashing it. Going Triumph will mean you have a more premium ride, but pay more for servicing it, and only be able to do so (for main services) at a Triumph dealership. Again, like you said, you can always move to a STRS later, and it will be a nice treat.
