i hate you! :(


seriously, i just sold my ride (yzf 600r)because of school. and i have wanted the 675 for 2 years now

I'm not a fan of crotch-rockets.

[Destructo6]

Looks really nice.

Out of curiosity, what made you opt for the Triumph over the Kawasaki?

im going to take a gander and say, the 675 is the same size as the 600's but with the extra 75cc's you get an excellent midrange on a smaller bike. that and it looks better. :) but thats just me

[t0nnn]

that about sums it up ...the bikes gotten nothing but great reviews and it rides amazing ....for every 20 jap bikes you see there's 1 of these, I like that..

and yes....The bike looks better compared to the other 600's IMO

[evil]

mmm nice if i was ever in the market for a small cc bike this would be the one id get. Way Way faster than the Jap 600s. i ride a 955i incase you wondered, Triumph makes great bikes these days.

[teufelhunden]

they are pretty

[t0nnn]

yes they do, last year I was bidding on a 2000 daytona 600 ...but ended up loosing the auction, came down to 2 seconds :mad: but this bike is great, I couldn't be happier

[Madmarx]

Nice bike.
Looks a lot like a Kawasaki to me.

[thecavemankevin]

wow, that thing is nice





too bad that helmet will make you look like this:

but very nice bike man

[gimp]

Awesome bike man!!! I love the 675. It's cool to have a different bike than everyone else. I'm jealous.

They've got a naked version of the 675 that's got me all excited. I forget what it's called, it's like a speed triple + 675. Awesome.

Now you've got to go burn off those chicken strips.

[MoeMag]

Wow.

That thing is beautiful. :wow:

yes it is the speed triple last i checked... that looks sexy as well! beats all the sexies in its category to :cheers: now only if the ducati monster's were not so aggressive feeling and expensive :cry:

yummy (of course its the s4r testastretta, but the monster 695 is only a tad down played looks wise)

niceeeee

[gimp]

I'd like to upgrade from my naked fz6 to that street triple. I'd do something about the headlights though, I think they stick out to much.

[slade]

hmm, not bad, not bad.

the bike is a little too... not pink, though. it doesn't quite match.

[AirAssault]

Why does every cycle post turn into a gay fest about a helmet? If you are not secure with your sexuality enough to wear something like that fine, but that doesn't mean T0nnn isn't.

Nice bike, and for those that really "ride" we know why you got this over the Kawi.

haha.

that burn would have almost worked, if you knew what you were talking about.

but no, seriously, that bike is a horrible color. pink *would* be so much better.

[Army]

Considering that Trumpets nearly died off due to their insistence on keeping the 1960's look, this bike is worlds apart from the "old days" of the Tigers and Daytonas.

Nice ride........and it gives me eeeeevilll ideas :headbang:

[t0nnn]

Triumph still makes vintage old school new bikes ...go to their website and check em out, they're pretty bad ***

airassault ......go get one or atleast go ride one you won't be dissapointed. I can't even express how smooth thing bike is ...and the 3 cylinder engine has a great sound to it

[CaliMagFan]

amazing bike... like said before- nice helmet too. thats is the bike i want. i almost bought a daytona 600 in 04, but held off for my 1/2 way to midlife crisis.

[WillyB]

675's are awesome bikes. Look fantastic, handle like the dickens, and are British. I prefer the graphite colored one to that mustard color, but it still looks hot. I toured the Triumph factory in Hinkley last year and it was quite the experience. Those bikes are exceptionally well made. One of the guys in the group had been to the Ducati factory in Italy and was very impressed that so much of the bikes were made by hand and not with machines.

On the Street Triple thats coming out soon, the Speed Triple is in my opinion the best naked bike to be had on the market. To me it looks like it will kick you in the teeth and then curb stomp you. Plus, it has a triple engine which sounds fantastic. The Street Triple looks to be an exceptional bike for the small naked bike category. It really only has the Yamha FZ-6 and the Duke Monster dark to contend with, so it should do well.

you're new here. but you win. you should meet josh.

[gimp]

It's a shame that they don't offer the naked version of the FZ6 over here in the states. I think it would sell much better than the faired FZ6 (I think it's kinda ugly). I converted my FZ6 to a naked version, but I've got a different headlight. I don't have any good pictures of mine though.

I've never understood that. sure, machine based mass production doesn't necessarily scream quality, but i'd trust the precision of a machine over that of a person.

[ß?µ£ §mµ®ƒ]

Beautiful ride, keep the rubber side down! :headbang:

[Destructo6]

"Hand made" is a figure of speech.

Certainly, no man bent those tubes with his bare hands or fused them together via laser vision.

In a first world country, "hand made" simply means that a man inspected and placed those parts into an assembly jig prior to another man firing up a welder. ie more care taken during assembly.

In a third world country, "hand made" means that they don't have the tools necessary to do it any other way.

umm, what? I'm not oblivious to manufacturing. I said I'd trust the precision of a machine over that of a person. I'd trust a part made with a CNC machine over that of a manual bridgeport. I'd trust a robotic system over a jig and TIG welder. I'd trust a manufactured circuitboard over a hand solder job.

[gimp]

I'm also mostly oblivious to manufacturing. I just assume that there is much more human interaction involved in the manufacturing process. Specifically in the quality assurance part. A machine produces the part, but it is carefully monitored and inspected by real people to make sure it is up to snuff.

I sold my Busa when I bought my house to pay off some bills. I am now in the position to buy a new bike here in a few months (waiting to get the deals over the winter here in Co.) I have decided I am getting this:

I've always liked the Buells but never considered it because Im 74.5 inch tall and thought I wouldn't fit. I went and sat on one of the XB12Rs and I fit fine.
When I lived in Germany you could go test ride any bike you wanted. When I say "test" ride I mean RIDE. You could take it out for a few hours, just bring it back full of gas. I have been on pretty much every major manufacturer's bike and some not so major. Not a big fan of Dukes, I know thats crazy to say. I love the ride but they just don't feel right for me. I actually got to ride a Lamborghini motorcycle, not this one but one like it: http://www.lambocars.com/archive/others/motor.htm

For a fee you could ride part of the Sachsenring, you would see Harley's out there, scooters, every thing. Fun times. http://www.sachsenring-circuit.com/

That new 1125R makes me drool, 146hp and 85 ft lbs tq and liquid cooled
Makes my old X1 look like a scoot


Love the look of the new triumph t0nnn

No clue what you're talking about, but thanks for running at the mouth.

[Madmarx]

Have you tried a Buell yet?
Takes some getting used to.

I wish they would just throw the V-Rod motor in one.
Then they would have a bike worth riding.

meh? did I miss something?

Yeah man those new buells are pretty sick...I bet that will be a real nice ride, I've always like the streetfighter look of buells..this one just looks fassst, throw some pics and a review up when you get it

JERSEYYY ...hah if you can call it riding where I live....But I can drive 20 min in any direction and get to some nice open roads so it's all good, the majority of riding I do is commuting up and down the highway...try to do weekend rides with the fellas as much as we can tho

[slade]

ugh, i hate highway riding on a bike. ...at least you save on gas.
