How many cylinders do I need

After looking around I have found two bikes that I want. Now the question is which one. It's come to the '06 Suzuki GSX-R600 or the '06 Triumph Daytona 675. The biggest hang up for me is the engine. The Suzuki has 4 cylinders and the Triumph has only 3. I need some quidance on the difference, what's better and the amount of maintenance for both. Any advice? Thanks

The magazine that I am reading says that the 675 has more hp. and torque than all the super sport 600's. I would go with the 675 myself if I were looking for a new bike. And it all depends on how much time you have in the saddle, I would not get either bike if I were a beginner.

Neither bike is a new rider bike. As for power, i believe the Daytona beats the GSXR in almost every category. I voted GSXR though because i think its a better looking bike and with them both being very quick and almost the same in a lot of categorys style becomes a decison maker.

I'd vote for neither, because I see this as another, "I want a really fast cool looking bike for my first one. Despite having read all the nonsense about not starting on one of these bikes."

To be fair, Dill posted a couple of weeks ago that he already has a bike.

I have a 1982 Yamaha 400 Special. Just something to learn on throughout the summer. I would like to buy a sport bike next year, but I’m having trouble deciding what bike would be good for me.

If you feel comfy on either of them don't worry abuot the engine or HP etc. Start on whatever you want, just take it easy.

Its not his first bike guys.

The triumph will have more power overall, and more power at streetable RPMs.

Plus it sounds way cooler.

Unless your planning on going supersport racing I say go for the triumph

oh, and to answer the question in your subject line, you need only one cylindar because a one thumper can get you around just as well as the 6cylindars on a honda rune. So the question should be, question about final bike choice, or something to that extent.

i probably would have gotten that bike instead of my current bike if saw it on the showroom floor.
