[QUOTE="madmike2, post: 715420, member: 151"] Yes! Tupperware is expensive. Also, larger displacement bikes are usually higher cost to insure. You should check with your agent with different models so gauge for yourself. WeeStrom or SV650 can each be easily modified. The engines are practically bullet proof and each model has a huge following so there are many websites and plenty of aftermarket pieces available, new and used. The same idea would apply to the FZ's. Your insurance agent would be able to compare the different sizes vs. the same year to give you a baseline quote. Another consideration is maintenance. Though the hyper-motard or monster might be tons of fun, how much maintenance can you do on your own and what kind of dealer network is near you for parts, pieces and any support you'd need. That is the issue for Triumph , Ducati and KTM. You said your local Triumph dealer is awesome so that's a huge plus for that motorcycle. How about if you're 500-700 miles away? Though I don't remember reading any dire warnings about sudden-terminal-self-destruction of Triumphs. 2 weekends ago I met a friend for lunch. He was riding their dealership's KTM 990 SuperDuke, piped, chipped, etc., etc. Can you spell T-R-O-U-B-L-E (it's in the dictionary under: Hooligan)? [/QUOTE]
