Triumph Street Triple

[STRAMASHER]

675 or speed triple?

ST3 every time, 675 is a gorgeous bike and i would pick infront of any jap600 but they are a completely different experience.

The nekkid 675 is just going to be a budget speed triple. Less everything. Diluted.

My perfect trumpet is 1050 st3 engine and injection in a 955 striple chassis.

I just don't get the point of that 1050 chopped rear and high and heavy, small bore pipes.

.......anywayz 675 don't have a single-sider, and THAT is the coolest thing in motocycling.

You haven't been looking at mine in my brothers garage have you ?
Nothing diluted about that bike, 152BHP 1997 speed triple, under seat triple outlet exhaust, I've been looking for something to replace it with, but it's not been beaten yet

nah , just saying the 675 nekkid is/will be diluted. Its all about grunt with just a tickle of throttle!

Erm, less weight too?

Some people might want a lighter more nimble bike, so drawing direct comparison is pretty pointless.

Currently not in a fit state, needs clear coat & decals, but as soon as I'm able it'll be back.

Here's it as it looked back in October (nothing has been done since then )

I'm guessing you did the front wheel in blue and rear in red. Haven't got a side shot by any chance? It looks the dogs balls man. Awesome beast.

I'd been hoping for a mini speed triple, but personally, I really don't like that. As others have said, unless it is £1K+ cheaper, I'd prefer a 675 with the fairings ripped off.

I'd actually prefer a speed four to this.

Is it me or does it looked too photochopped. A little to neked up the front end for me. Looks like it could do with a little more styling up there to bring it back into shape.

EDIT: was thinking something along the lines of a new FZ1 nose would look nice.

Not really my taste, but was ask what I'd do if I was making a prodominatly white bike, here's a side view as requested.




Got a clear rear light lens and mesh for the air ducts to go in yet as well.
