So I still am Jonsing for a bike a bit. While I'd LOVE to get a Triumph Street Triple, it's a bit pricey and maybe not the best choice for a first bike. I'm kinda down to an Yamaha FZ6 or an Suzukii SV650, but in reading some rider reviews, several guys mentioned the old Honda VFR circa 98 - 01 is even better as an entry level sport/touring bike than the later model SV and FZ. Are they just fan boys or is there something to it? They very specifically said up to 01, not later . . . something about the VTEC they switched to.
