Check the service history very carefully.It needs to have been done at the right intervals,fully stamped up (preferably with reciepts)by a Triumph dealer(yes I know technically it can be anyone competant)so that if there are any issues with it the warranty is still valid.Then check it over just like any other used bike and if the price is right go ahead.Is it one owner?That should give you an idea of who used it and for what.

I hardly think 19,000 miles is "huge".

Huge for one year I think though.

Anyway doesn't matter.

I am now the proud owner of a 09 675.

does seem like alot for 1 year, but like others have said if its serviced then not a worry,

you could push for a really good deal because the mileage will put alot of people off

Congratulations! Good choice.

I've got a Triumph off road exhaust if you'd like to purchase it. Not sure if it will fit the '09 but could find out.

Thanks for the offer, would be nice to know as i would like to change it. But TBH i dont really have the cash expendable at the moment. So I may PM you if its still lying around when i could afford to change.

Fully stamped up and service at the correct intervals. Look and felt amazing. The dealer told me he sold it for a Speed Triple 1050 (He showed me on screen) So obviously if hes doing 19k wanted something more comfy and probably wanted to get the best price he could before it was to late i.e one more year and he'd be close to 40k miles.

Bye bye my love, look at your fitter younger sexier replacement. Youll always be my old hag xxx
