Insurance will be replacing my stolen 696,
Problem is that I can get a new off the floor 08 Triumph 1050 Speed Triple for 900 dollars less than a 09 new 696 Monster.
What would you do, and if I go with what my head tells me, will I still be welcome on the DMF

seems like a test ride of a couple bikes is called for but that new 2008 might not be demoable so take another TR demo they have
,ride the M1100 and a streetfighter while your comparing.
If it's an insurance check they might finance the difference if you do go bigger!
