Hi there everyone,

I really need help in choosing my next bike.

I can't choose between:

1. Speed triple
2. Gixer 750
3. Daytona 650

What do you think i should go for? I want some comfort but feel the need for speed as well.

Hope you can help. Very Happy

S3 every time. Thumbs Up

I loved mine, and the 1050 is supposed to be similar, but waaaay better!

What year 750? Can get a lot of GSXR for 1050 speed triple money I believe.

If you can control yourself, the GSXR is likely to be a very capable bike that can do everything you want and probably do it more smootly/'better' than the trumpet (always go for the 1000 if you want midrange along with the high gearing).
If you find you tend to use the speed offered to you, the naked trumpet probably offers a good choice, especially if the moderately pretty looks are important to you.

There's a lot of other bikes I'd consider before the 650 trumpet.

Triple, but they are quite balls against the tank.

some good replies there lads.

As for the year it will have to be a couple of years old.

I threw the Daytona 650 in there, as i have already had one and really liked it. But really fancy the Gixer 750.

A couple of years old, so a K7 GSXR 750?

Looks like it's a straight fight between the Gixer and the Speed triple.

I'm probably looking at an 08 plated bike.

I must admit i'm leaning towards the Gixer 750, but would so love a special edition speed triple, like the one some of you may have seen at the bike show last year.

Thanks for the comments so far. Very Happy

Thanks for that comment sPiTfYa I wouldn't have thought or known that about the o6 plate gixa. i'll just go and check the 06 plated gixer 750.

Glad i asked you guys, i knew you would be able to help me. Very Happy
