Nope it is not a tinny bike. Like a 125? Yes of course it's thin, it's meant to be, nothing lardy about it. Not sure what your point is really, DJ01.

Something I love about the NC35 is just how tiny it is, makes it very easy to chuck about, the 675 is kinda similar but with lots more power.

I suspect a typo here, he probably meant "tiny" like a 125 race rep size, not tinny.

So you've looked at one...

And sat on one...

Have you considered actually riding one...?

Hey!!


I rode one............................................... briefly






I replaced mine with something else because although I couldn't find fault with it, it didn't suit what I was looking for in a bike...


Besides, I made the 675 look small so a man of your stature would probably make it look like you were trying to recreate some scenes from the Karma Sutra while riding it

I'm with Fizz

To many of the people I have talked to bought it because it was "shiny" and "all the cool kids had one", just like the iPod, I always heard grumbles about how gorgeous it is (and the 675 IS a looker) and how shiney, but yet it failed in this way or that way.

Hence this old chestnut.



Still at least Triumph allow you to use it on any road you want, and dont insist you fill it with petrol from approved pumps only...
