I am vertical challenged (ie I'm a gal), like to on "un-improved" roads and need enough power to commute on the interstate.... which doesn't leave me with many (affordable) options: the DR does the trick

I love my DRZ

I don't understand why the Street Four was even in the test.


Do they even produce those any more? They aren't on Triumph's website.

I agree, wtf is that bike even listed for?

And the answer is: No.

The Speed 4 hasn't been produced since 2006.

I test-rode both the SMC and SMR.......they both sucked IMO. Maybe it's because I'm not a tard guy at all. I don't understand the appeal. Yeah they're great in tight turns, and for urban terrorizing, but they suck ass on the highway, the seats are uncomfortable, and there's tons of brake dive. Anyone who rides any kind of distance will pick a fully-faired sportbike or sport-tourer.
