ultimate comfortable bike Triumph Tiger 1050SE

SE. Special Edition. A Tiger, but more. An even more practical version of the ultimate versatile machine.

Taking the standard Tiger 1050 as its base, the SE adds an exclusive color scheme and a higher specification that includes our sophisticated ABS system as standard, color matched hardbags and handguards.

Usability has always been a byword for the Tiger. The torquey 1050cc three cylinder engine delivers an infectious sound and feel, boasting the performance specification of a sport bike: braced swingarm, fully adjustable, upside-down forks, remote spring preload and adjustable rear monoshock, twin floating front discs with four piston radial calipers and 17-inch wheels with 120/180 profile sports tires.

The tall riding position gives a commanding view over traffic, making passing through rush hour traffic easy. Hit the highway and you will revel in the muscular 1050cc triple which, combined with powerful brakes and a high-specification sporty chassis, make carving through the twisties a real pleasure. For the long haul, the ergonomically designed seat with screen and fairing ensures a comfortable ride regardless of distance.

The result is a motorcycle with an unparalleled dexterous ability, capable of commuting, carving and touring in equal quantities.

powerful Handsome korean bike hyosung GT 650 R bike

Hyosung have done well with this model, due to the efi its performance up to approx 8000-8500 rpms is seamless. i have put an aftermarket (scorpion) exhaust on the bike which delivers a great note with weight saving on the stock pipe. As its hyosungs first attempt at an efi system they need to be co...mmended on how good it actually is.

In hindsight i would have bought the tour model over the sport yet that is no critisim on the comfort of the R model.overall a decent learner legal bike that comes with 24month warranty, mine is coming up for its 5000k service and is still going well. Follow the break in procedures well and you should't have any dramas. (btw the new pipe did not require engine remapping and it sounds awesome)for a sub 10k bike this thing is awesome. Hyosung have emerged as (finally) a decent competitor to the jap bikes

very high performance street bike suzuki SV650

The Suzuki SV650 is a motorcycle that is hard to pin down. Most motorcycles that are great for the experienced rider are much too powerful for someone new to the hobby of motorcycling. On the other hand, most beginner motorcycles are too underpowered and veteran riders are left wanting more. . These motorcycles were designed for racing and therefore are not very newbie friendly.
The suzuki SV650 and the SV650s (sport edition) are the most modern and the largest displacement bikes . The 90-degree liquid cooled V-twin, 645cc, fuel injected engine delivers power in a very managable way and is great for both a new and experienced rider.

Most sportbikes are equipped with an inline-4 engine which is the equivilent to a jet turbine in terms of power output. They can go quite fast once you rev them up to speed, but most of them are left lacking when it comes to mid-range torque. The SV has mid-range power in spades, and is the type you need when riding on the street. That is also the primary reason why the SV makes such a great beginner motorcycle. It allows the newer rider to get used to the sensitivity of the throttle without having to worry too much about the motorcycle taking off without them.

If you pick up an older SV650 (pre-2003) you will find that the frame is more rounded compared to the new versions, this allows the frame to be 100% cast aluminum alloy. The older tube frames were partially cast and the rest was welded together. Both frames are well designed and very stiff which really adds to the already impressive handling of this bike. Couple that with the stock Metzler Mez 4 tires and you have a bike that can keep up with other more race oriented bikes in the twisties.
One gripe that most SV owners have is the suspension. A lot of riders think it's much too soft which leads some people to replace their front forks with those of a Suzuki GSXR. If you were going to be doing some heavy riding either on the track or maybe some aggressive twisties then it may be worth it to change out the forks, other than that I wouldn't bother. One more thing that some owners complain about is the hard seat that comes stock on the SV. After some saddle time myself I would tend to agree with them, so if you are going to be going on some long trips you may want to switch the seat out for an aftermarket seat (maybe a corbin).
When all things are considered the SV650 is not only a great looking bike, but also a really fun one to ride. This bike offers a great alternative for those that are too self consious to start on a 250cc or 500cc motorcycle or those that simple have had lots of 2 wheeled dirt experience and want to move on to the street.

Half fairing means less plastic to break in case of a drop.
70 hp is enough for the experienced, but not too much for the new rider.
Cheaper than a 600cc 'crotch rocket'.

Suspension is too soft
Might be too much power for someone not comfortable on 2 wheels (either a bicycle or dirt bike).

Specifications

Engine: 645 cc, four-stroke, liquid cooled, 90° V-twin, DOHC, 8-valves, TSCC
