I'm looking to get a point and shoot as a holiday gift for my fiance that won't break the bank. Ideally no more than $300US but I might be open to more expensive options if the quality outperforms the price in its category.

She'll mostly be taking landscape pictures or pictures of monuments/ interesting features, etc.

I miss summer already.

Today we're taking a quick peek at the 2024 Triumph Trident 660

• Engine: 660 cc, liquid -cooled 12 valve, DOHC, inline 3-cylinder
• Torque: 47 lbft @ 6,250 rpm
• Power: 81 HP (60 kW) @ 10,250 rpm
• Weight: ~416.7 lb (189 kg)

Manufacturer website

This bike comes in 4 different colors and a special edition, with a base pricetag of $8,595.00 and $8,720 for some of the other paint schemes. This is another motorcycle that people swear by as a great bike for beginners or experienced rides.

The 2024 Suzuki SV650 is another upright naked motorcycle in the same engine class as the other posts.

• Engine: 645cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 90˚, V-twin
• Torque: 44.9 lb-ft @ 8100 rpm
• Power: 69.3 hp at 8,530 rpm
• Weight: 432.1 lbs

Manufacturer website

The MSRP on this one is ~$8,000, and the general consensus is that it's a great starter bike.

Although it's not a part of the retro series, it's engine is in a similar displacement class as the other two.

Quick facts

• Engine: 649cc liquid cooled in-line four cylinder
• Torque: 42.14 lb.-ft. @ 8,160 rpm
• Power: 80.55 hp @ 11,000 rpm
• Weight: ~445.3lbs

Those pipes, such a clean design. Still in the upright/naked competition for my next bike. For 2024 I guess they're coming with an e-clutch. With this you still have to shift with your for, but you don't have to pull the clutch.

The riding position looks a little too aggressive, but I still want to sit on one to see how it feels. It does come with a price tag of ~$9,400 MSRP which is on the priceier side of this class.

Anyone have one of these with the e-clutch?

2024 Kawasaki Z650RS

• Engine: 649cc, 4-stroke, 2-cylinder, DOHC
• Power: 67hp @ 8,000 rpm
• Torque: 48.5 lb-ft @ 6,500 rpm
• Weight: ~412lbs

Does anyone have one? This one is in my top as a contender for my next bike. It's a little pricier with a smaller engine than the XSR700 so not sure which way to choose.

I've been wanting to see more content in this community so I've decided to "be the change"

So instead of ~~praying~~ posting my bike over and over, I'll try to post a featured motorcycle with some quick stats. First up:

2024 Yamaha XSR 700

Engine: 689.6 cc (42.08 cu in) 2-cylinder liquid-cooled four-stroke engine Torque: 689.6 cc (42.08 cu in) 2-cylinder liquid-cooled four-stroke engine, Power: (55 kW (74 hp)) at 9,000 rpm Top speed: 200 km/h (120 mph) Weight: ~186 kg (410 lb)

Personally I hope to get one.
