I've got a big 'ol dilemma on my hands! As you guys know, I bought my '06 FZ with 42 miles on it about two months ago. I've got about 400 on it now and have loved every mile of it!
Unfortunately, a gorgeous Triumph that I've had my eye on for quite some time just became available spank ... What do I do?
Pros of keeping FZ:
-Awesome power
-Great all-around bike
-Fuel injection/no carbs to mess with
-Reliability
-Warranty
-Awesome power
-Six-speed tranny (although a bit agricultural...)
-Can get on and ride anywhere, any time
-Did I mention the power?
Pros of getting Triumph:
-Can probably make some money off of FZ since I bought it on the cheap
and it still has low miles (although the PO low-sided it, I can easily get that
fixed)
-Great torque
-Great styling (More classic, but not better than FZ- just different)
-Awesome sound from a Triple with drag pipes
-Better for two-up (?)
-More relaxed seating position
-Can always go back and find another FZ later- This particular Triumph is
one-of-a-kind
What am I missing on my list?
I guess I just feel like I don't really need what is essentially a brand new, stock FZ, so I'm considering selling it, trying the Triumph, and then going back to the FZ later/getting a used '07+. I Love my FZ, but what do you guys think?? -John
