Thruxton 900 because it has that classic style. Of course if you had a night train in there I might have to go that direction.

Probably the Breva or the Monster since they're the sportiest of the bunch. Sportbikes are just the most fun IMHO whereas a cruiser or standard would be a good second bike for noodling around on nice days.

I've spent miles on a sport bike and miles on a cruiser. While the sport bike is definately more fun off the line and in the corners, the cruiser comfort value does it for me. I've also matured enough to know that I am not mature enough to own a sport bike but I can own a cruiser (I'd get into way too much trouble on a sport bike).

*Edit* The Triumph would be like owning a classic sports car. I probably wouldn't ride it like a new sport bike.

I owned a Triumph Daytona 900 for several years and didn't manage to kill myself. ;)

I just get bored on cruisers or anything else where I'm scraping things in corners. :p

Yeah, but even Harley owners make fun of people who have testicles and ride 883's... ;)
