This is the first Kawi I've taken an interest in. I'm off work Monday so I'm going to go by the local dealership and see if they have one I can check out. If it were a v-twin, it would be perfect.

As far as Ducs, they're a little too rich for my blood.

Plus I haven't found one I really like.

I'm looking to get a new bike next year. I'd like to get a leftover '09 if there's one available, but it's no big deal if it isn't.

you would think they would like the thump of the Vtwin.

the thing I don't care for is the dry clutch on the Ducati's.

I told Tina that I didn't want her to get the Triumph. they never really had a good dependability reputation and I'm sue getting parts for them isn't going to be easy either.

their build quality has improved drastically over the past couple years and considering that they have widespread standalone dealers i sincerely doubt parts will be any harder to come by than anyone elses.

I'm just thinking that they have such a small share of total bike sales that their network couldn't be as good as others. I don't really know, I don't know anyone that owns a triumph to ask about parts availability.

I think I like you.

Plus, they have fuel injection this year on the Triumphs

http://www.buell.com/en_ca/bikes/street/XB12Scg/ It's two inches lower just for short people like you! lol

And I do believe they used to make a 984cc version that you could likely pick up fairly cheap.

Then there's the lack of maintenance. No chain to lube or replace, no valve adjustments, no coolant to flush or worry about.

Makes most of it's power where you need it. And it'd be fairly cheap...
