View Full Version : Another one joins the StreetTriple.org club
Just put down a deposit on a Street Triple R, and picking it up Monday. Havent even seen it myself yet! I have however had Speedplay cast his beady eye over it and he says its a minter, and so I'm happy to go on his recommendation.
Low miles, a year old and in a special colour so I'm happy to have a one off!
I was going to wait until Monday when I pick it up, but too excited. Not much of a shopping list to worry about, a few bits and bobs i'll be looking to adjust as I always do :D

Did you use this ebay item to display a similar bike or have you actually bought this very bike ??

No thats the one I've put the deposit on. I dont mind the auction still running for the sellers peace of mind in case I was to pull out, but he's now holding it so I can pick it up on Monday.

You put a deposit down, i would have thought he should remove it. The deposit will compensate him if you pull out, he's surely just going to either let down a bidder or complicate matters.
Love the stripes, think it pulls it off quite well - not many vehicles do!

Dave as its a classified ad, there arent any bidders. It is up to potential buyers to contact and be told that its currently not for sale.

Not a Trip fan....... But I really like that. As Daimo says, welcome to the club :)
Collected it today, before making the 200 mile trip home in rain and fog. Had to dash as soon as I got in so not had Chance for photos. Ill get some ASAP and post them up.

and...?
Just in from work so haven't had chance. Probably won't get any decent shots until the end of the week now. I'll just say that I managed 2 hrs and 150 miles in one stretch and stepped off without fatigue and only numb fingers to worry about. Great bike, can't wait to put some fun miles on it rather than slogging up the mway.

Glad you like her mate.
I thought she looked great.
Was worried that my tastes in colour would be different than yours.
No mate I love the colour. I'm gonna spend Friday detailing it unless the weather is nice in which case ill take it for a blast

Think he meant 150 miles, distance ;)
or was you meaning 75mph x 2 hours ?

"Well duhhhhhhhhh" :)
I do tend to assume miles means miles, not miles per hour. Direction signposts would be seriously confusing if I didn't. Although I would get everywhere in exactly one hour, which would be nice.
Finally some photos of it, other than those taken by the seller!
I took them so I can compare once the modding has finished.

Sweeeeeeeet
Belly pan looks a bit plain though seeing as the other body panels have a white stripe. Not sure detailing on it would help though....
Jealous.
Definitely stick the arrow exhausts on there if you've got the cash though. Friend's dad has a street triple with the arrows on as his second bike. Went for a ride out with my mate when they got put on and the noise overwhelmed my SV without my baffle in!

She is a lovely looking bike, i have always been tempted by street triple, think i would get one if i didnt want a fully faired bike
Reeder I've already got the Arrows....these were pre-Arrow shots! Going to fit them in the next week or so.
For the bellypan, yeah it maybe is a bit plain but I dont want to over-do it. I have looked at a couple of other ideas to break up the large swathes of dark colour so might try something.

Mmmmmmm them arrows sound sweet, good choice. Get the slip-on map else it'l pop a lil too much (gets annoying). Oh, and rev the $hit out of it...they love it! :)
The popping is the best bit haha!
Dude, I'm so jealous though... That bike... Those Arrows... C*nt.

Well its saving those hard earned pennies to pay for it! That, and having a very average car which doesn't cost too much to run.

It'l still pop, just not so much. Re-map is especially noticeable when those baffles are removed!
Makes me wanna go play on mine now :D

I have the world's most average car and I live at home, but I still can't afford one :)
Lend me yours?
When I was your age, I had a GS500 and was still a Student! I was lucky enough to get the SV at 24. It wasnt really until I bought the SV that I realised what I was missing. I hardly used the 500 in comparison.

Please fit the arrows and then grace us with more pictures :)

If you've never ridden a GS500 then yes you should! Looks like you got a nice bike yourself fella and although biased through previous SV ownership, a nice hi-level can would look the business on it :D

Well I chopped my Daytona in for it...
Learnt to ride on a GS500. Didn't mind it too much at the time (thought it was fast) but I knew no different other than a yamaha something 125 I did my CBT on.
Getting onto the SV felt nice and sooooo soooooo much faster, but I can't really compare the two much as I wasn't capable or confident enough to use the SV properly whilst I could still remember what the GS500 was like. Apparently I nearly scraped my pegs on the way back from the test center on the GS ;)
+ where abouts do you get the high level link pipes from? Originally wanted one. Kinda not too sure now incase I wanna take pillion. Can easily stick the footpegs straight back on with how it is now.

I said it's nice. Didn't say I wanted one. See signature. :-)
Ive been fitting the Arrows today, along with a radiator guard, a set of shorty levers and heated grips. I'm currently at the heated grips stage, had a few issues with cable routing and the throttle tube needing to be shaved but hopefully going to get it all back together for some more photos.
Just to add for those who have a Street Triple, if you're thinking about the Arrows, they are LOUD! Sounds superb though!
