I've also looked at the Triumph Race cans that you can get they sound sweet and look the same as standard they're still £320 though...
They sound brilliant though

I personally prefer the styling of the arrows because they're smaller than the original. Not seen the triumph race ones, but you'll always wish you had the arrows
Save up over the year bit by bit and before you know it you'll have £600 for exhausts ready to burn!


Oh, and I'm mega jealous btw. I'd love a street triple, let alone an R, but just can't afford one!

Have you seen him ride a bike?

Some riders are confident like the Millennium Falcon, quick, warp drive works sometimes, if Chewbacca hits the right bit with a spanner.

Chucca is confident like the Starship Enterprise, warp drive works on command Captain Kirk, each time, every time, all day long.

He can wheelie if he puts his mind to it, especially on a naked.

BTW, try a supermoto if you get a chance. I test rode the DRZ400-SM and it turned me into a complete hooligan the second I got on it!

The worry is I'm sure I could wheelie if I set my mind to it... but thankfully my mind won't set to it (yet)!!! I have the family standards to up keep here. Cousin Louie bought one of these things for £150 as a pit bike and he wheelies down his road for miles waving to neighbours.



gotta say i loved riding 'THE VISION' at Cadwell Park last year but above 20 mph it gets a speed wobble... please note I wasn't on the track at the time!!!
