    2012 Street Triple R question(s)

    Personally i would go with the graphite, any day. I really don't think there is that much difference between the models you mention, just the looks. The twin round bug eyes are the best look in my opinion. I just traded in my 2010 R for a Tiger, but i did love that bike :)

    straight razors..

    Straight for me, mainly Dovo Astrale. I hone my own, since i have the stones etc for my Japanese cutlery. I use to get a shit load of razor bumbs on my neck from using canned aftershave and Gillette uber mach whatevers. With a straight i can get atleast as close of a shave, but take it easy...

    Steet Triple coming from Bonnie....

    Neuro, go for it :) I commute daily and just did a 2K mile trip on my triple, cant beat it for either purpose. I have an option to take my wife's Bonnie black pretty much anytime, but haven't even thought about it since i switched over to the Streety.
