Looking for a new bike...your thoughts please...
Currently i own an 07 Triumph Daytona 675. I bought it new in the summer of 07. It now has 15,xxx miles on it and still runs great. Part of the fun of owning a vehicle is modifying it to my liking, which i've done just about all i can.(Full exhaust/filter/tune. Carbon/powder coat everywhere. Bars/grips/levers reservoirs. Lightweight chain/sprockets. Titanium nuts and bolts on everything thats easily accessible. The list goes on)
The problem is, I always like to have a "next mod" all planned out and it has come to carbon fiber wheels($3500) or opening up the block and doing valves and race goodies, which i don't have the knowledge to do and don't want to spend the money to have someone do it for me.
Side note: my insurance now is $350/year through progressive.
So i'm considering looking for a new(2010+) bike and here are my criteria:
-Must be less then $15,000
-Insurance must be less then $1,000/year(25 year old, no points, single)
-Must have character
-Must be a sportbike/naked
-Must be able to be drag raced(no dry clutches)
The bike list i've put together so far:
-2013 Triumph Daytona 675R(although i'm not a fan of the new headlight)
-2008+ Triumph Speed Triple
-Ducati 848
-Ducati 848 streetfighter
I'm just asking for constructive input on these or any other bike that might meet my criteria.
