I'm in the market for a new bike and looking for something with a more comfortable riding position. My dream bike is a thruxton r, but I really can't justify spending $15k+ on a bike.
I think I've narrowed it down to the following, but not really sure if these bikes will be suitable for me (5'8, 160lbs).
1. XSR 900 (or xsr700 if it was available in NA - is the 900 too much bike?).
2. 2013+ street triple
3. Triumph T120
4. ??
I think the most practical of the three is the T120 and still enough grunt to keep things exciting, but I absolutely love the looks of the XSR and Street Triple.
Is there anything else I think consider? I'm also wondering if the XSR and Street Triple are too tall for someone my height.
My previous bike was a zx6R which I was able to almost completely flat fleet. Before that I had an old CBR F3 which I was able to flat fleet comfortably.
