Look at it ! .. its not even a new concept.. but just look how pretty it is..
![]() Seriously though the spec of the bike is incredible.. my 675 is a dinosaur compared. I'm desperate to see what Glen Richards does with it this year with Smiths Triumph.. glad they finally created a factory team ! ![]()

I like it but i prefer the previous model as I liked the red sub frame but not now it's 'beefed' up and has a plasticy look about it. The rest of it looks wise and supposedly how it handles do make it an awesome bike. Nice sounding too!

I agree about the subframe though, what gets me is that my 675 is such a precision tool with great suspension, speed and handling how could I ever need (not want) a 675R ? I use at best 40% of my bikes complete potential in ways of actual ability.. bring able to effectively use 100% of the 675R you have to be a quality racer imo

I prefer the look of yours, although ohlins and bling factor is nice you're right i certainly wouldn't need it. If i was looking at supersport i would look to get a 675 for reasons above. I fancy doing some miles touring in the next couple of years on one of these.

Stunning bike. Nice to see the exhaust out from under the seat and 'mass centralised'.

what?!?! i think that bike does look good, but not quite as good as the current one just becuase this one doesn't have an underseat exhaust! i am such a sucker for an underseat exhaust. have no idea why, bhave just always loved the look of them!

My OCD loves an underseat exhaust, it makes everything much more symetrical...At a push I can go for cans on both sides of the bike, but I still prefer them underseat!
