Honda wins again for me. I've always wondered how something that weighs 690 lbs can be considered a sport -tourer. Makes no sense to me. Battle tank, yes; sport-tourer...... nope.

Kill it, quick, before it breeds!!!!

The one carb'd bike we have left here, a 2003 Triumph Trophy, is extremely quick to come off choke- no more than 10 seconds. Everything else is fuel injected. By the time I put my helmet and gloves on, they're ready to go.
