Whatchoo know about it?
Do you have moto experience?
You mean motocross or motorcycles in general?
In general.
Reason I asked: it's a big bike for a beginner.
The speed trip should be a good scoot.
I rode a 955 Daytona and was blown away by the power and sound of the 3cyl and the performance of the braking. The speed trip should be similar, if just a bit detuned. This was my buddy's bike and his long term impression of the overall quality of the bike was good. The Dayt was quite a big leap from my old Rigid T120R chopper. Trump's come a long way, the new bikes seem really well made.
speed triple is a lot of bike for a first bike. Classic hooligan bike for running from the cops and doing wheelies through traffic. Smaller displacement would be better, and just as fun.
Now also sorta considering a Ducati Monster 620
...and wondering if I'd be better off putting the money into my house, or maybe a sportscar instead. :nonono2:

Also, adding a sidecar will not get you laid as much as you think.
