Rode my friends inline-4 Friday night(Triumph Speed Four), it's the same exact bike I used to own, so it wasn't anything new, but man I forgot how glorious some bikes feel haha. My yz426 is still more fun, but the Triumph is just sooo smooth it's ridiculous. I hate the term crotch rocket, but every time I'm on his bike that's the only reference I can think of. There's no grumbling or shaking like my buell or YZ have, you can barely even feel the engine running, you can just feel the bike wanting to go faster and faster.

It's been probably 5 years since I've had an I4, and I know people here swear the GS is all the bike you need, but I'm thinking about trying to find another. I just got my tax return, gotta sell the yz I bought last fall to borrow the motor from, and should have a rebate check coming from the furnace I bought over winter. The responsible thing to do would be to pay some stuff off, but I'm really tempted to pick up another street bike to fill in the gaps the supermoto doesn't cover. My plan this past summer was to buy another street bike after I sold the Buell, but I pretty much managed to just spend that money haha.

I could have an awesome time on something like this..... http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/2902928988.html

Well, a GS500 is all you need, but when you want something that's another story.  I understand.  Best of luck whatever you buy.
