Mmmm...this! If only they were sold here. Sigh.

I do have my eye on the new Triumph T120 now, though. I attended one of the sneak previews, and they seem to have addressed all the complaints I had about mine: more power, upgraded suspension, and incredible attention to detail and build quality. Can't wait to ride one.

Oddly enough, I've continuously had a Yamaha FZ6R on my mind for about three years now. I come from a long line of sportbikes, and my last "sporty" bike before the CB11 was an FZ1 which I liked a lot, but I just can't fold myself up on to a full-on sportbike anymore. The FZ6 is much more upright with more legroom, yet still looks the part, has a fairing (which I really prefer), and is an inline four (really my true motorcycle engine preference overall). My only concern is the power now - not that I ride like a maniac, but I do occasionally like to feel that sweet surge of power when twisting the throttle.
