Is Triumph street triple 660 worth the price?

[mossy1200]

I went and had a sit on it today.
I would buy it if I was going to be on a LAMS restriction. Top bike.

Are they offering you the demo at a reduced price or are you looking new.
Red wouldn't be my colour choice but that's a personal thing.

Mossy you should have ridden it.

They weren't that flexible with the demo , and the trade in wasn't best offer.

I will get the black . White is not my color , and red was not as nice.

Was rush hour traffic when I got there and raining after work today.
With a claimed 65hp I would expect with good torque it will be a good ride.
What people forget is 20 years ago manufacturers talked up max hp. Now manufacturer makes a LAMS bike they wont talk up they will talk down the hp to make it legal. Also when you cap hp you can set the bike up to have the hp for a bigger percentage of the rev range rather than a top end peak value.
Some that ride 100hp bike but ride it in the first 2/3 of its max rpm are riding it at 65 odd hp mark.

End of the day you need decide if you want to spend the money and accept that a percentage of that money wont return when you upgrade. How much loss you can accept will dictate what you do.

My last bike loss was 28k less 17k trade plus 4k extras. Loss 15k in 30 months and travelled 6 thou km. 50cents per km
Bought mine at top dollar before prices on my bike dropped.
What I don't manage to spend on bikes my wife will spend on other stuff.

Like bogan said bro, the only opinion that matters is yours!

I purchased the MT-07. Went in to test ride the MT-03 and was originally only wanting to spend $7-8k.
The dealer put me on the MT-07 and I loved it. So, bought it!

The reasons I purchased the MT-07 are here:
-LAMS Approved (I am on restricted and I hadn't owned a bike for 4 years, wanted to get my full)
-I wanted a bike which had enough power to last into a few years of Full Licence riding
-Styling
-Price of New compared to 2nd hand Er6N's, MT-03, XJ6N's and GSR600's (only a few thousand more)
-Price compared to other new bikes of similar class (very competitive @ $10990)
-Rideablity
-good commuter bike as well as longer distance rides for weekends
-and the reviews the bike was getting

I really like my bike, others may scoff at it but it fits a purpose for me at my stage. I purchased mine the same month they were released in NZ and plan on hanging onto it for the next few years at least and may look at going to the MT-09 or a cruiser in years to come.

Do what suits you bro and enjoy it if you take the plunge

54hp.

A LAMS bike would need to weigh 234kg to fit under 150kW/T with 65hp.

lol, hurry up and trade that sewing machine in and get that 660 just to piss Mike off

Still enough to have a good bit of fun with.

I can't seem to find a dyno curve of a ST3 660 but I agree that you can go pretty quick working within the first 2/3 of the rpm of a ~100hp bike.

Best OP gets a IT490

specs are only 35HP

[Smifffy]

To the OP:

Do you wear Jocks, boxers or commando? How many people on the internet did you ask before you settled on a preference?

Smiffy I am all in for naked since my liking of Striple

Haven't settled on anything yet. Still deciding but most likely either going for triple 660

You better watch out the red demo is the only one they have left at the moment. The white one sold and is waiting to be collected.

When I went through my learners, it was on a road legal 125 4 farm bike, and was restricted to 50 km/h everywhere, including the open road, for 6 months. A street triple 660? Luxury. Probably superior to the bikes we had to ride when finally got the full.

Mossy, they can get more easily , it's their sale technique haha.
I personally only like the black and at that price I would get new one ( they weren't offering any specials on the red one )
