Cant decide... 08 Daytona 675 or GSX-R750

I'll probably stop into ATD saturday and take a better look at the daytona. lol I think the decision was made for me last night though i like the way one of my friend responded last night her exact quote " They are both nice bikes, but the Daytona is Hot and I'm wet from just looking at it" SCORE lol

As for maintenance on triumphs, I hear mixed reviews some have told me there hell and some say it's no sweat so we'll see.

the triumph 675 is a cool bike

triple is a great motor


but triumph still has problems-just keep that in mind


the 2008's gsxrs are going to be badass

but yeah-everyone and there mom will have one-but theres a reason for that also

As for maintenance on triumphs, I hear mixed reviews some have told me there hell and some say it's no sweat so we'll see.

I saw an interesting post by a guy on another forum who was discussing the difference between the Japanese sport bikes and the Euro sport bikes. Which he has owned all

I believe he stated that there isn't a big difference between dependability of the bikes. But that the Euro bikes have more of a reputation because a Ducati/Triumph/Aprilla owner is more likely to take their bike in for routine maitnence compared to your average Jap4 rider.

Because if you really think about it your Ducati/Triumph riders are normally older (30s or so) males who don't want the I4 motors and have more money to spend than your average 18year old who is stuggling to make his Insurance and Bike payment. Much less pay for valve adjustments

I guess it's kind of an illusion. Because you hear so much about Ducatis and such going into shops you think there is something wrong when all they are doing is adjusting valves and changing plugs. On top of them hearing noises we all hear on our Jap bikes but don't have the money to take in and check out. Which a Ducati rider might have.

If you have money for hte bike but can't scrounge up enough to fix it if it does go bad(Because the reputation is true). Then I'd get the GSXR. But if you have spare cash to maintain the bike incase it does go bad I'd get the Daytona. I don't have the money to risk that so I have to go with the Jap4 because their reputations are solid.
