Where to go next?

I'm 6' tall, and have placed the footpegs on the lower position. 14mm lower than how the bikes come out of the crate. 14mm makes a HUGE difference to comfort

Thanks, to all who replied.

Whilst I have not test ridden yet, I have sat on a Triumph 675. Just sitting in the showroom, talking to the salesman, my ass was going numb!! Man the seat is hard, and uncomfortable. Also took the time to sit on a semfiddy. The seat, at least, was a lot more comfortable. Now all I need is time to ride these beasties, and make a decision.

I got conned into test ridding a Triumph 675 and that was an absolute blast. Its midrange torque is so much fun, the front was coming up in 3rd on the motorway onramp.

Riding position is pretty similar to the Gixxer however the 675's engine is probably far better for road use due to the midrange goodness.

I wouldn't rule it out based just on the seat, if you can test as many of them as you can and then swet about which one to choose, you will find them all to be exceptional rides.

I do intend to ride a 675. Just to see what all the fuss is about. To be fair to the seat. I was dressed in civvies, and had a wallet in my pocket. So a ride is definitly on the cards.

Okay... I just rode the Suzuki GSXR 600, (not a 750. They had none.) and a Triumph 675. My god. The 600 was a bore. It was like a push bike. Did nothing for me at all.. But the 675.. well.. The sound. FUCK. The Torque. Fuck. It was light, nimble, and oh so much fun. And it was quite a nice ride also.

The semfiddy has alot to do, if I am going to chose to buy one..
