Advice for Choice of Bike

OK folks I have a massive dilema.

I have 2 bikes that I want to consolidate to 1.
06 Speed Triple
98 GSXR600

Both for sale.

Now the dilema - What to get - I like 3 bikes, all triumph.

09 Daytona 675
Ex Demo Sprint ST
New Tiger 800.

All excellent bikes

Was with Scongle on Sat when she ordered her Daytona at Jack Lilley’s, and she and Dave Lilley were both trying to talk me into the Tiger.
Their other justifications were - I’m too young for a Sprint (Sorry Westie) and too Tall (6’6") for a daytona. (Added to the fact that she’s just bought one.

So thinking seriously about the Tiger, but worried that the Commute along the A40 and Marylebone Road, It’ll be too wide.

What do you all think?

Thanks Tim,
2 things on that. 1: I tend to be to long to fit on a Honda… Deff not fit on a sports.
2: - I love the Triumph triples.

I am fortunate enough (or stupid enough) to have both and agree with you about the triple :stuck_out_tongue:

If I had to consolidate, then it would be to the Sprint. It handles beautifully (was fun on a recent track day) and filters well in London as the mirrors are set high to pass above most car mirrors. :slight_smile:

If you’re going for the Tiger for the love of God man get the 1050.

But I don’t like the 1050 in the Tiger…

Martin, Thanks for that.

I’m still totally stuck between all three of them.

I guess my only option is to try and ride them back to back.
