    Its a 6-7 175 cc engine! Is that the best reporter you have to offer!

  2. MikeJS57 says:

    This guy’s style of reporting isn’t overly effusive. You sometimes get the feeling that some presenters may be in the pocket of a particular manufacturer and therefore willing to give a thumbs up to a turd on two wheels.

    I agree he seemed to stay very neutral and informative by all means!! boils down to what your going for!! I say the triumph for sure only get rid of the red!!

    i like the kawi!!!!

  7. calaiscruiser says:

    I just bought one of these Kawi’s!!! I pick it up tomorrow!

  8. naythCC says:

    the seat is horrible on the kawa. did you even ride em?
    the kawa is a horrible ride too! its still all high-revs. alright, they improved the midrange but its utter horrible to ride on the road.
    the triumph has good low, mid and upper and a very nice seat. its pegs aint so comfortable, but god its so much better in everyway.
    track – id take the kawa.
    but every day, id buy the triumph.

    Neither of these bikes comes anywhere close to being anything even beginning to slightly resemble a “turd on two wheels”. So I don’t know what the hell you are talking about…

    i like the kawi always have but daytona sounds beatiful

  11. DrouQC says:

    ZX6R or Daytona 675 for a first bike???

  12. 44pullups says:

    a used bike is the best bargain for your 1st year but if you must – which bike do you think looks better???

  13. DrouQC says:

    I think that the new ZX6r is not also beautiful than the oldest model (2005 – 2008) but the daytona is very nice. i never saw it on the road, but on picture and vidéo i think that it is the most beautiful sport bikes.

  14. 44pullups says:

    well, i know i am not the only one to fall off his 1st (and 2nd) bike, so think of scratching up that beautiful bike! better off getting a great bargain on a used kawi and learning (and having fun), then get the dream bike after

  15. 44pullups says:

    you make a good point. all bikes should be ridden before buying. many will dissapoint you with such basic things as ergos or engine characteristics

  16. DORYA11 says:

    the triumph looks just like a Ducati 848, or 1098, that’s bull!!!

  17. Blits134 says:

    The kawasaki is way better. The Triumph’s body style is a rip-off of a Ducati.

  18. MikeJS57 says:

    You misunderstood me. I simply meant that I very much like your unbiased reporting, whereas other testers often seem predisposed to the exact opposite. Keep up the good work.

    who cares..

  20. tribulation138 says:

    yea,,, i think people forget.. ss600 are meant for the race track not for a commuter bike..

  21. DORYA11 says:

    its a big deal because Ducati is much better than Triumph. They realize that and now they have to copy them, its bull-shit.

  22. lezantas says:

    green way better:P

  23. brownslippers says:

    triumph

  24. seriousgrunt says:

    Go the triumph! I bought a 675SE a few months ago and its awesome and everyone loves it. No regrets!

  25. metbandit1 says:
