Help me choose my next bike!

[ckellyusa]

Alright guys, I have a delima right now as to which bike I want to get.

I plan to turn my R6 into a track only bike, so I wanted to get a different bike for general commuting and riding around on the streets. I have been thinking about it and I think I want to get something besides a sports bike, which means I'm leaning towards something like a naked bike.

Don't get me wrong, I'd still love to have a 1098, 848, R1, and a 675, but I think for my next purchase, I'll get something a little different.

Here are my current choices and reasons, let me know what you guys think and give me some suggestions and comments.

Option 1: MV Agusta BRUTALE 1078 RR
Inline 4 - what I'm use to now.
According to the dealership, has the best front end feel out of any bike he's been on.
Parts come from the F4RR.
Very Sexy!

Option 2: Ducati Monster S4R S Tricolore
Twin - never had one, but want to experience it.
The colour scheme I really want, but when I'm ready to buy (mid to late summer) it will be very hard to find.
Very Sexy!

Option 3: Triumph Speed Triple
Three cylinder - I also want to experience this.
Looks good as well.
Cheaper

Those are the three I am currently looking at. I was also looking at the hypermotards and KTM 690 SMC, but decided I would like one of the upper three first.

I'm not worried about maintence costs or anything like that... just... need to decide and buy! haha.

Thanks for you comments.

the speed triple is straight hooligan! I love it. PLus I hear they are very powerful. I dont like the duc at all. 3,1,2 are the way I would put them in order from favorite to least favorite

Loads of mid range for blatting about town at lowish revs and the looks just do it for me.
Might be worth having a look at the street tripple too, supposed to be just as good. 675 engine out of the race bike, but with a few mods to give it a lot more mid range too.

The best thing you could do is test ride them all and see what suits you best, you might just hate the tripple but love the monster.

Dont know anything about the brutale other than I dont like the way it looks. I've ridden a couple monsters, never the S4R. They are AMAZING bikes even when underpowered so I can imagine the S4RS would be pure heaven. They handle and stop like so well they make my R6 feel like its broken. With that being said i like the looks of the Speed Triple the best out of them all and have never ridden one but will this summer.

I have seen the speed tripple go for $9,000, I would like to have one,but duc suk -cost too much for me. I would inclued a 08 R6 in there too.

I rode an older speed triple - wheelie machine!
Torqy like a twin...

I like the looks of the brutale too though...
