Triumph Street Triple
Do you think the Triumph Street Triple makes sense?
Would you buy it over the 675? If its not at least a grand cheaper I don't think I'd consider it over the 675. I'd gladly strip off the fairing and have the proper engine instead of the detuned version if I wanted a naked. Don't get me wrong, I love nakeds but Triumph seem to do theirs as old schools streetfighters do so why don't we do it ourselves? Have bikers become so lazy as to buy already made streetfighters? Its a shame really. http://static.blogo.it/motoblog/street_triple_3.jpg |

Re: Triumph Street Triple
Huuum been asked about this already, having ridden the 675 (well as much as I could) the engine would need some serious work to make it anywhere near good enough, the compertition would be bikes like the Kwak Z750 and you can get thoughs for the £4k mark, OK the brakes and bouncy bits are better, but not that much, and of course it'll never come close to the Speed triple, that'll always be the Daddy .
Cheers Mark.

Re: Triumph Street Triple
How about a slimmed down streetfightered Rocket 3 ?
Now that would be a bit of a head turner and an interesting ride.

Re: Triumph Street Triple
If it was a reasonable price I'd go for one coz the Speed triple is too large an engine for my 7 and half mile commute to work, it would be wasted. quite like the look of it as well.

Re: Triumph Street Triple
Eh? The engine in the 675 is supposed to be awesome. Or does it still need to be revved a bit too much for a nekkid?

Re: Triumph Street Triple
Makes sense...
... MAKES SENSE! Since when did sense ever enter into the equation. It's the ugliest, sexiest, tightest-arsed, knee-weakening collection of metal and rubber to ever grace this earth. In black anyway. |
