I have long been a fan of these, because my dad has always had one. I can remember riding on the back ever since I was little. I finally decided I wanted to start riding so I started small (my mom’s Yamaha 250). It was a great bike, more like a scooter lol. It was like the bike with training wheels, so I got sick of it after a little while. My dad recently acquired a Honda Shadow 650? which I dreamt of riding. So before I tackled the beast, I wanted to get my motorcycle license. I went online and found some company that does a couple classes then some riding sessions. My instructor was a professional motorcycle racer and he had the COOLEST bike (more about that later). So I learned alot and did great in the riding portion (seeing as how I had my permit and had been riding the 250 everywhere). Now one thing I noticed was peoples opinions on my motorcycling. Half of the people would tell me I had a death wish and they didn’t want me riding around, and the other half were way excited for me. It bothered me because everyone had to tell you some story about a guy they saw on the news who got decapitated or whatever. What they don’t realize is he was probably riding between cars doing wheelies or whatever. And all those guys who ride crazy give all the other motorcyclists a bad name!! So I got my motorcycle license, but my dad wouldn’t let me ride his bike. The the that pissed me off the MOST was he would let my older brother ride his bike around when he didn’t even have a permit!! But later on he let me start riding around the neighborhood, then around town, etc. It is sooooo much fun! Anyways so I have officially decided which bike I will be purchasing (after I am married and move back to Poway). Its from a company called Triumph, and the bike is a Daytona 650. My instructor had this bike in a cherry red, it literally was love at first sight.   

 As the first three-cylinder super sports middleweight the Daytona 675 stands alone in the most hotly contested arena in motorcycling. Of course it can be compared to many motorcycles – and on such occasions invariably comes out on top, but in one single stroke it’s redefined just how a middleweight sports bike should look and feel. If the Daytona 675’s unique DNA is a large part of its appeal, its stunning performance is the winning flourish
