Unfortunately they neglected to mention which dealers they where :rolleyes: apparently though dealers are desperate to sell so you could bargain yourself a decent deal maybe, which is your local trumpet dealer ?

[plowsie]

Yes, dealers are doing their best. I just got a cracker of a deal on a Ford Ka. Give it a go, tell them you can only afford x amount. They will meet your demands.

Yeah, you can always vote with your feet, tell em what you want for your current bike and how much you are prepared to pay for the next one and if you don,t get it just walk away, you might find a tug on your sleeve ;)

[plowsie]

Or do as I did. The missus likes it, but she can't justify any more than...

"I'm just gonna pretend that we're making special arrangements just for you sir"

"Oooh Lovely"

[BanditPat]

E all the way baby ;]

[speedplay]

I voted E, but personally, would go for the 675 as its fully faired.

[RichT]

A or E for me.... Like the rear wheel on E, think I prefer the orange and underseat cans of A

[plowsie]

I voted E, but personally, would go for the 675 as i'm a ghey Power Ranger

[Amplimator]

LMFAO @ the 675 punts!

on a serious note i didnt take a 675 for a spin jus coz i dont like the riding position on my SV so couldnt deal with riding 'what felt' like a 125 in terms of size!

i cant believ you peeps the missus is gloating now coz so far her 2 top choices are winning! (biatch):p

keep em coming ;)

a 125? lol, more supersport id say.
**** up right over your tank ready to tear up the tarmac :D

il do the whole naked sit up and beg doggy bikes when my knees give out rather than wish i had a SS when i cant physically do it anymore lol, :D :bom:

[plowsie]

You too ;) ya big poof!

[pencil shavings]

A with the E swingarm :)

[John 675]

big.. your about two of me put together lol.. and even though you think its a puffters bike... you KNOW you would so.. dont deny your own urges.. i think its because your secretly a closet power ranger but keep being ridiculed lol,

a bully is normally bullied as well lol, :smt081 :smt081

my older bro was a gixxer junkie for a long time and he sez exactly the same.......get a supersport now and enjoy it!

i do think the daytona is the one of the prettiest bikes around, but i dont want a plastic-fantastic machine for speed or looks......just not my type of bike. i want a 'proper' looking bike.

jus personal preference not old age.....yet (still plenty o years left in me to try one l8er in life)

in short, the 'doggy' bikes do it for me like your SS does it for you;)







besides i over-worked my wrists when i was a lad so sports position hurts like hell after a while :p

[Amplimator]

A with the E swingarm :)


awesome thas a big help LOL :D

[dizzyblonde]

Exhibit A looks ghey
Exhibit B looks gheyer
Exhibit C looks boring
EXhibit D.....like Jonny 5...and a duplicate of C

Exhibit E ...looks rather sexy, much better than ghey, speed triple defo not ghey;)

[John 675]

[BanannaMan]

A but with the windscreen like on C.

[chris8886]

A, without a shadow of doubt. underseat zorsts and orange are just cool! on a side note i'll quite happily relieve you of your sv for £500, can't be offering too much more with it being a pointy n all! :p

[coffeecup]

Definately A :) Orange looks superb and the high tail end exhaust is the better looking one

[Stig]

Listen to the Mrs, she knows what's right. :lol:

its a minter m8......was offered £2400 in px in standard trim (not bad for a K3), for 500 squid u can av the cans and a few other 'extras' i put on;)

Listen to the Mrs, she knows what's right. :lol:

she really tryin to wear me down ere! ya know for sumone who's never had an interest in bikes she always manages to pick out the biggest, meanest most expensive in any showroom regardless of whether she sees the price or knows wot make the bike is!

so far the speed triple is winning by a fair margin..........surely she cant win AGAIN!?!?#-o

Amp

[vardypeeps]

Damn I voted A but didn't spot the last picture so E for me!

[Stig]

So where is the problem?

[ophic]

my mrs has that talent too. Take her anywhere, she'll point to the most expensive thing in the vicinity and say "i like that one". Doesn't matter if its for me, for her, if its bikes, footwear, cars, tools, whatever. And all without so much as glancing at the price tags.

[Amplimator]

guess im jus tryin to be sensible and go for the cheaper option :-k

thas a female/shopping thang i reckon........its in their genes they just born that way! which is why they usually cost a blurry fortune!

and also why i couldnt live without her.....such talents:p

[keith_d]

I think one of my friends holds the record. She was out looking at cars with her hubby and he asked her which one she liked. She picked the McLaren Mercedes SLR. Needless to say they didn't get one. :smt082

[missyburd]

I voted E without a second glance, nom nom nom.

[davepreston]

my friend allow the O H this victory she gets the feeling ov she's always right and you get a mint bike which she can never make a coment about 1/ how much time you spend on it 2/ how much cash u blow on it 3/ how you never take her opinions on board
a win win situation

[Amplimator]

strangest fing ever.........the speed triple is turning out to be cheaper to insure than the street triple R, even tho its a higher value bike/bigger CC etc etc its nearly £200 cheaper :eek:

[rictus01]

Whilst the "Street" has nice colours the "Street R" the nicer bits, they are tiny, side by side it's a light weight compared to the speed (think speed triple washed on to high a setting and some gucci bits pinched), nice enough bike but the Street will never be a muscle bike as the Speed is, of course should you need a few years on one of Triumph's training bikes; it's probably wise to go for one of the little ones first..............;)



Option E


Cheers Mark.

[VolatileParsley]

Exhibit A looks ghey
Exhibit B looks gheyer
Exhibit C looks boring
EXhibit D.....like Jonny 5...and a duplicate of C

Exhibit E ...looks rather sexy, much better than ghey, speed triple defo not ghey;)

+1. Definitely option E. It's a looker alright, your missus has taste. :cool:

[plowsie]

Even the missus loves my grandads speed triple, he has it in white and I think it looks so nice. He spanked it up pretty good when a fueling/throttle issue got the better of him on a bend.

[zsv650]

c look's good to me although i don't like the seat cowl on it bit ott for a nekkid tbh.

[newts924]

It has to be E...

[ophic]

He spanked it up pretty good when a fueling/throttle issue got the better of him on a bend.
You mean he fell off? :p

[plowsie]

You mean he fell off? :p
Yes after a slightly (read majorly) confusing moment where no throttle reponse caused him to give more throttle and highside. At gone 60 years of age, it didn't just hurt his insurance...

I joke with him saying give it to me, you can't cope with the power. Thing is, I think I would be wary of the problem he had now...

[Ceri JC]

D. I prefer the size and aesthetics of the Speed (especially in Black), but the Street is:
a) Quicker round the Nurburgring (which I take to be a good indication of A-road performance).
b) Lighter.
c) Cheaper to buy.
d) Considerably cheaper to run and insure.
e) A better wheelie machine in stock form.

[Amplimator]

cheaper to run maybe.......but not cheaper to insure!!!

All the quotes ive had have been quite a bit more for the striple R....and its the 'R' in the title that does it (group 11 for the speed and 14 for the street R)

i do prefer the streets all round, but hell if im gonna pay the price for insurance i may as well av the monster speed!

still debating on which.....so unsure its giving me a headache lol
Amp

[Sally]

Black every time mate :)

[G]

Hell yes E.......I've not read the whole thread to find out but are those wheels not pretty special? MArchneshijpoinmdon (sp) or something like that

[yorkie_chris]

Orange is for KTMs.
Silver is quite nice.
The low level pipe is loads nicer than high.

But you can't beat the speed triple. It's as much a liter bike as the striple is a 600 :-P

AFAIK those wheels are stock fitment.

[Amplimator]

AFAIK those wheels are stock fitment.

yup indeed they are stock wheels on the 08> models as are the black forks

[madjohn]

Got to be E for me.

[Girth]

E but wrong size so i aint voted.

But then again, i am totally biased!
