Having test ridden an S4 at the weekend I'm hoping to become an owner soon - just have to sell my Triumph :(

Interestingly I was about to sign papers for a Bonneville when I changed my mind and plumbed for the 900.......

If I only knew where that decision would lead.......... :dizzy:

Which triumph do you have out of interest?

Welcome!

Thanks Gordon H - I presume it's lead to expense rather than heartache!

rac3r - I've an 04 Daytona 955i in yellow, the fastest colour. Lovely bike but not the right tool for me :(

Cool I've been looking at the 600's, I need something slightly cheaper to run for a while :(

By the way if you haven't found one yet there is an S4 for sale on Ducatisti

You mean cheaper than your Monster?? Does that mean they can be expensive? Not that I'll be doing 000s of miles.

I've not ridden a 600 so can't comment on costs and ride, but the 955 doesn't seem too bad (I have seen more than 55mpg on a run, recent 18k service was around £200) and I love the triple motor.

And thanks for the pointer. I've seen a very nice S4 at a dealer, but p/ex on my bike is not great.

Not expensive just I'm a student with no proper income at the moment :D

(OR it's just my excuse to buy a new bike :chuckle:)

The orange one? If she goes don't forget to change your tag from "multiple monsters" :chuckle:
