@bright I’d say a street triple is great. The engine is a peach. None of the hyper grunt of a twin, without the warp speed redline of an i4.
It’s still plenty rapid, but there’s a reason they’re so popular and highly rated. It’ll excite, without inflating your riding ego, which we all have somewhat, otherwise we wouldn’t be riding stupid machines.
New ones have a great electronics package (if you’re buying new). Seating position is comfy and lets you relax, and suspension is very well sorted.
I loved mine in every way when I had it, early days of riding too, it was just too steal-able where I lived.
