    The street triple may be low on numbers but not performance, plus the lower weight makes it immeasurably better handler especially in city and ghats!

    And IMO, the finesse on the Triumph is just a notch higher than the Kawasaki, though a very minuscule difference, plus Triumph uses steel braided brake lines, has aluminum frame, gets a gear indicator and a rpm limiter.

    Excellent Choice!! Striple continuous to be my favorite pick too. Keep us updated and treat us with a nice ownership report.

    CHEERS!!

      I've heard of a persisting stalling issue on the ST , and also the placement of the oil tank is directly under the bike making it liable to crack, if u go over a speed breaker with a pillion ,

        Triumph UK has come up with a new setting, also they will be changing air filters at 5k km.
        This is being implemented on owners' bikes as we speak. Will get to know soon that whether this has tackled the stalling issue or not.

        P.S- my bike is new and done only 1000 km, so no stalling on mine.

          The z's price is set to drop by a lakh or more as its going to be brought down by CKD route, not sure how legit this news is , but at 7-7.5 lakhs this bike is a steal.
