The Triumph Street Triple - My Ideal Commuter

I've owned and ridden motorcycles from the age of 17. But only recently have I gone back to commuting on them. The reason: Sydney's traffic, which has gotten steadily worse over the last 15 years. The city has grown substantially but there has been no equivalent growth in infrastructure. A lot of people blame the NSW State Government, and they do have to bear a degree of culpability, but the state government cannot raise sufficient revenue to run themselves and so have to rely on funding from the federal government. And there's the core of the problem because the Federal Government uses funding to pork-barrel marginal federal seats rather than direct the cash where it's needed.
So about 3 years ago I decided to get a new bike. I already had a bike - a Suzuki RG500 - but it's far from an ideal commuter, getting 168 km on a 22 litre tank of fuel - plus the synthetic 2-stroke oil at 30 bucks a litre. It's also useless in traffic, going nowhere below 7000 rpm then going beserk as you hit the powerband. Was just not practical. What I needed was a light and nimble but powerful middleweight naked bike that could duck in and out of traffic with ease and which had a broad spread of power. I considered a few, but settled on a Triumph Street Triple. That was nearly three years ago, and I'm glad to say that the bike has proven ideal for its intended use.
