    Hi guys,

    There are two bikes that I cannot decide which one to buy.
    1. 2003 Triumph Speed Triple 955i, alarmed, OK condition
    2. 2006 Kawasaki Z1000, need tyre, looks like new in the pic.

    those bikes are very similar in specs.
    I like to Z1000 looking, but it cost a little bit more then the ST.
    I got myself totally confused, don't know which one should I pick.

    Any suggestions please?

    Speed Triple IMHO

    Z1000 always felt like it needed another gear to me, if that makes any sense.

    Considering the look of the two bikes you have it narrowed down to take a look at a 2006+ fz1 aswell. The naked version is delish.

    Z1000 far better builded.

    I like the Triumph, but if those two were my choice I'd go with the Z1000.

    The newer shape z1000 with the fairing infils that have integrated indicators is incredible looking. And you cant beat the aesthetics of twin exhausts
