    The new 750 Triumph Street Triple RS might be worth a test ride.

    If it was me I'd be looking at a Yam mt07.
    I think I'd get more enjoyment getting 80% out of a smaller bike than only being able to get 30% out of a big bike.

    Out of the three (mt07, 09 and street) I'd go with the Triumph or spend some £ upgrading the Mt 09. I disliked the 07 and took it back after 15mins demo !

    Cheap blade sounds ideal...

    Street triple R round headlight model, lower gearing that made it wheelie off the throttle and a good set up from MCT makes it handle like its on rails. Read an article about the first R model 2009 they reckon it will rise in value quiet quickly.
