Soon as the tyres warmed up and i started to get me confidence back (bearing in mind i havent rode a bike properly since my bad accident in Sept 07) i really started to enjoy it!!
Omg that whine it gives out...wow wow wow!!!

Only downsides i found was clutch was little too far out for my small hands/fingers so pulling off was a struggle

Lovely aren't they?

You may find the span adjustable clutch lever from a Bonneville fits the 675. That's the modification mine had when the previous petite woman owner collected it new from the dealers. It certainly helped me because I have an almost total lack of feeling in my left hand after my stroke.

Not sure about the Arrow can, but the Triumph accessories catalogue does feature a very shiny flat black plastic thing you put under the bike to replicate an oil leak, just so that older people who see it will call it a 'proper' Triumph. Also available are greasy ripped up jeans that smell of urine and long wigs for new model Bonnie owners, so they can feel more authentic.

Nice one, I bet you'll be counting down the days now. Not too long to wait and it'll be well worth it.

For real authenticity it should come with two bags of spanners.One to do roadside repairs and the other to put inside the engine so it sounds "right".

Nice! How did you find the height/riding position. It's tall isn't it, but absolutely beautiful and the triple has grunt and revs! I think its a great bike

Paws - please say you're not having the fairing drilled to fit the sliders.... you'll damage the decals badly. See Asphaltscraper's thread over on T675. I hadn't thought of it before, that's why I'm thinking of GSGs.

They are an awesome bike and after reading your review it has made me want one more. Windy Corner is my nearest dealer and they are doing some awesome deals at the mo "must.........resist...........urge..........t o .........go there.........tomorrow"


Oh and I cant resist this quote out of context
