    Bolt vs Streetfighter

    Ive just sold my bike on.

    torn apart between these two bikes. Completely different end of scale I know.

    I've had several cruisers and sports bikes before and Im happy to adapt to riding style of whichever bike I end up with.



    which one would you go for and why?

    further to this, I'm interested to know which is considered to have more "cool factor?"


    Thanks guys for the comments in advance.

    Cool factor depends on lots of things, if you're 120kg bearded and tattooed up, the bolt would look cooler with you, if you're a balding, clean looking, middle aged man, the street fighter would be cooler.

    What gives you a boner? I know what gives me a boner from those 2 bikes

    I'm 31, non-bearded, slightly balding, clean look, and tattooed man and both bikes gives me a boner. Seriously..

    Are we talking choosing between new bolt and used duke?

    You sound like a stereotypical ducati man. Buy a branded leather jacket, branded coffee mug and jump on your ducati

    You should buy a Kawasaki h2 ($35k available January)supercharged and the bolt.

    I'd go streetfighter because of epic hooligan factor

    And because of my username, possibly.

    Comes down to beige but pretty, or ugly but neat imo.

    Then again, those two wouldn't make it to my shortlist to begin with so it's probably your taste that matters...

    The fact you asked people's opinions makes me think to some extent you care about other peoples opinions, so given that, problem with the Bolt is that a lot of people (including none motorcycling types) will just think you can't afford a Harley. The streetfighter I reckon would be way more fun.
    since you like twins why not get a Griso and there will no doubt about what's cool

    Yes. Would go the duke.
    Seen some wicked looking custom bolts on web though.

    Duke every time....Bolt is pretending to be something it's not. If you want a Harley, get one, if not, a Duc is a great choice too

    My money on the Ducati.

    But it's not my money so irrelevant.


    Ride them both if you can and you decide.
