Street Triple vs Shiver?

[short-circuit]

FZ-8 is worth a serious look too. Bloody good fun bike with "enough" power but not too much. Bit more comfortable than the Street Triple too (I reckon)

Lol. That a challenge?

Which part? The only bit I don't know about definitively is your age

I have seen a 635Ninja keep ahead of a triple... riders where both good.... road good but bloody tight, to tight for the triple sorry to say....... less work on the smaller lighter Ninja...

Just because I've got Pommie origins and a decent education, it doesn't mean I like spanking. Ahem, it doesn't mean I don't like it either

I can see that term has finished for you or you're just filling in time until it does finish, hehe.

And you witnessed this from your Sporty? Binoculars from 2 km back????

Everything in moderation Geoff

Hmmm maybe you should

I've been seriously looking at a street triple as they get great reviews. Was hoping to have one in the shed by xmas but couldn't quite make the deal stick. So starting looking at other options and came across a shiver at emoto in chch and it looks great. It would be great if someone could give me feedback on either of these bikes and sooner the better. (the wife has sugested I get a another bike this summer and not wait till next year so don't want to give her a chance to change her mind!!!) Also if anyone has either of these bikes for sale let me know, I'm cashed up and ready to buy.
Cheers

Speed in a straight line is great for losing your license.
Take the best handling bike and enjoy the twisties.
By my eye it should be the Shiver. Better brakes, better suspension?, longer suspension travel, wider bars.

I've tried a speed triple and thought it was great but just want something smaller and lighter to have a bit of fun in the tight twistys. Thanks for the comment.

My S4Rs is weighing in at 170kg and does go around corners real well. Best complement I had was from a couple of sprot bikers after passing them on the inland Kaikouras who then tried to keep up only to over bake the next corner...Faaarrk that thing corners quick

I think I really need to do a trip to Christchurch and get my bum on a shiver and try one out. How do you striple riders find your bikes on longer trips, say 600km in a day? without to many stops.

600km in a day Pfffft....The S4Rs was great on the 10 day 10 000km super tour. and the GC.....not to mention the TT2000....Pm me if you are going to Chch...

Fooook off...look at what this old fella rides and as for v2 gutlessness...This old amature on the 998cc monster pisses all over an XJR1300 ridden by an experienced racer in a straight line.

Yeah, but your V2 does have triple colours!
