The GSX650F is also an inline-4 in a small sport-touring format. Otherwise the 600cc inline-4s have race tuned performance and aggressive riding positions that make them more difficult and less comfortable on the street.
The above bikes compete with the 650 twin bikes like the SV650, Gladius, Ninja 650r and EN-6R.Super-motos and Dual sports both look like alot of fun. They have much more sensible speeds for street and urban use, however I have heard from riders that wheelies, curb jumping and general hooliganism is much too tempting on these machines. So tickets are not necessarily avoided, though I would guess you are less likely to kill yourself.

A problem is that the seats start feeling like 2×4 lumber on longer rides, the gas tanks they come with are very small so they are lighter on the dirt, and they do not have the best handling at 75 mph on the interstates. If you had a Gold Wing for long trips and one of these for short trips at 60 mph or less, they would be great.

i just have to go and see them in person haha..April 14, 2010 at 1:34 am #25734Jeff in KentuckyParticipantThe R version Triumph Street Triple has a much better suspension, and all of the Street Triples are said to go through batteries quickly- they made the battery as light as possible. The Triumph Street Triple is considered a great bike, if you can afford it, and it inspires hooligan type riding. All of the Street Triples come with the better stainless steel reinforced teflon front brake hoses.
Here is a review for some budget naked bikes- you might be surprised for which one got their first place:
