i'd have to disagree - but i don't understand triumph's thinking behind the colours... if the best colour in the range is yellow...

No, the best colour is graphite

What I dont understand about Triumphs thinking, is why they didnt make 10 times more 675s

Agreed! But I don't like the look of the 675.

R6
ZX6R B1H
CBR RR

All better looking in my humble!

i think its a sweet bike. But i won't buy one till they release a decent colour. I had big hopes for the graphite, but when i saw it, its poo. With yellow decals? ewww

I agree the graphite looks sweet and with the gold calipers and writing it makes it look even better. Def. the pick of the bunch, though im not fussy any colour will do

I'm sure they would like to make more but they dont have a huge factory spitting out bikes like the japense and also high demand isnt a bad thing

There production line is not static, so they dont make 500 bonnevilles, 500 speed triples then 200 675's its on a per order basis, so im guessing they budgeted a small number based on production of there other models etc. Plus you never know how successful a new model will be.

Im quite suprised reading the spec, it almost makes as much power as the old speed triple 955 engine! When do I get a go?
