Hello

   I presently have 2 newer bikes, an 02 Yamaha FZ1 with 18k miles, and
an 07 Suzuki SV 650S with 2K miles, I am trying to get an in between
bike that will compromise, the Yamaha has power and comfort, a bit
heavy, average handling, excellent braking and about 43 mpg, the Suzuki
has good handling, great fuel economy, decent braking, power is ok, on
the highway going into a headwind the bike is down on power, I realize
it's only a 70hp 650, what are some opinions from some riders, looking
for light weight, excellent handling, and power in between the 2 bikes I
have now, and keeping better than average fuel economy in mind, for
starters, someone mentioned the new Triump street triple, weighs in at
367 and and has 107hp, any comments so far on this bike.


             thanks

Yeah, I have a comment.  Get a Honda Shadow 600.  It weighs about 450 lbs.
and has about 40 BHP.

That way, when you step into a car, you'll appreciate the car's superior
performance.
