SV650 vs Street Triple 675
SV650 vs Street Triple 675
I am interested in getting one of these bikes. I have looked and test ridden both of them. I like the way both of them felt and the prices are comparable. Which one would be a better buy, as far as reliability and the ease/price of maintenance?

I liked them both alot. I thought the Truimph had a little more of a "sporty" feel and handling about it. It felt like it was a little quicker out of the hole and a little lighter on its feet. But the SV isn't bad by any means and is one of the better bikes I have ridden. If I had to choose one today, I would probably go with the Street Triple.
Hi Dchi, the suzuki would be cheaper to maintain. It would also be more reliable.....hands down. I have a friend who is an all year round biker, and he not so long ago traded in his daytona for a honda vfr800.
In all fairness the design of the daytona, which was a 2006 model i think, was nice and sporty, but I remember talking to him about it, and he said he had suffered numerous problems.
Suzukis on the other hand are more often than not, bomb proof.
If reliability and maintenance werent an issue however, I would imagine many people would go for the tripple..........bags of fun to ride apparantly.

Whatever you do, think about it first!
