Triumph
4.5
(14)
"The triumph speed 400 and 400x are super popular and well reviewed."
"My Triumph Street Twin is super low."
"I'd still recommend the Speed 400 due to it only being 375lbs."
"Street twin, t100, v7, interceptor, w800"
"Get speed twin"
"Triumph street twin is easily one of the most fun and yet extremely easy to ride."
"Grab a used Bonneville T100 or new Speed 400. Great bikes."
"Trident is a good fit."
"Triumph Trident 660"

"Honda CB500X."
"The best cruisers were the Harley Wide Glide, Harley Heritage, Harley Breakout, Honda Fury and BMW R18."
"Gives a very comfortable riding position."
"The finish and quality was good."
"Honda Rebel 500 would be similar."
"Think Honda CB350 Lineup, Harley X440 and the Speed 400 will interest you."
"I had tried honda cb200x back then it looked good and comfortable."
"Try the Xpulse or the Honda CB200X."
"My suggestion would be to go ahead and shoot for the 650 class. Get a cbr650r."

Trek
4.8
(8)
"I'm usually a Spesh guy but, the trek is a better deal."
"I'd go with the trek since it has a better 105 groupset and full carbon, and is much cheaper"
"Trek full carbon is the better choice"
"I’d go with the trek. Price is good and it gives you money to buy your kit, helmet and other gear."
"At that price, go with the Trek. Great bike and you can save the extra money for a bike fit and some tri bars."
"I like that Trek, especially at that price."
"I think new Marlin 5's and Aggressor Experts come with 2x drive trains."
"Imo, based on price alone I’d go with the trek provided it fits fine."

Yamaha

"The Yamaha deal is prob the best bet if you want the bike to feel more like a bike and don't want to use a throttle."
"Best thing for hills is going to be a mid drive motor. So grab a Yamaha Crosscore for $1200."
"XSR 700 all day everyday"
"I’d suggest you consider the XSR700 as it is affordable and will handle the faster commute."
"Fz 250 dual abs / Honda 200 adv"
"Yamaha MT07 is nice and comfortable."
"Yea a MT 07 with a lowering kit will drop the height by 30mm."
