    Which one?

    I’m considering getting another motorcycle this spring.  I have  it narrowed down to one of these two.
    First up is the Triumph Speed Triple.
    The original Hooligan bike.  The original Naked bike.  The original Streetfighter.  It’s 1055cc motor puts out 131 horsepower and it only weighs 400 lbs.

    The other one I’m considering is the Suzuki Hayabusa.
    This is the fastest factory motorcycle in the world.  It’s fuel injected 1340cc motor puts out 180 horespower!!

    So what do yous’ guys’ think?
    Should I go with the uber cool Triumph Trip’ or the uber fast Zuki’ ‘Boosa?
    Both of these bikes can Ton-Up without thinking about it.
    Come to think about it both of these bikes can do a Ton and a Half easily.
    I’m leaning towards the Trip’ but the ‘Boosa is not out of the running.
    Let me know which you like in the comments.

      TRIUMPH. TRIUMPH. TRIUMPH…

      I hate the hayabusa…. HATE IT…it’s ugly and awkward and hey! also,
      hayabusa sounds cool but in japanese it means ‘butterfly’ – and you ain’t so cool jetting around on a butterfly…now are you?

      You asked for and now have, my .02.

      I was thinking of something more suitable such as one of those electric tricycles with a little orange flag on the back then I found this . . http://www.tankchair.com/img/img2.jpg perfect for the ageing biker!

      Oh, actually Jen, hyabusa is a peregrin falcon . . small, fast bird of prey! I agree, a butterfly wouldn’t do at all!

      Jen, I’m with ya’. The ‘boosa is ugly. Wrap your ass in fiberglass kinda’ ugly, ya know? The Trip’ does in fact look like a bike should….lean and mean. I borrowed a Trip’ last year for two days. I had a hard time keeping the front wheel on the ground and cars passing me on the highway felt like a challenge. Teehehe! I’m 90% set on the Trip’ and 15% on the ‘Boosa and I don’t know where the extra 5% came from.
      I don’t know though. I may blow off the whole motorcycle idea and get me a Tankchair! That mug looks like it’ll go anywhere I point it. Though I think i would have to wear a CAT Diesel hat while driving it.

      Thanks for dropping by my space btw :)

    7. If there’s a hooligan bike in the running then I’m quite sure it has your name on it! ;-)

      Go with the hayabusa for sure… I had a 2006. You’ve never felt a feeling in your life like twisting that grip even HALF throttle… Its unbelieveable. I’ve chosen riding around on my busa at least a dozen times over sex. Its THAT good. I just put down my deposit on an orange and black 2008 as well :) almost 200 horsepower. Best of luck with whichever one you choose!!!

      Go with the Speed Triple!!! One of the best looking bikes out there if you ask me. Personaly i think the Busa is way to big and plastic looking.

      jen: sorry but hayabusa means eagle in japan.

      The Hyabusa though fast, is one seriously uuuuuggggly f’ing bike. Speed triple all the way.
