Me too.

But I'd want some frame sliders to protect those farings.

Never was an sp3, it only went up to sp2...I think the story was some people in NZ rebadged some sp2s with sp3 decals.

Gorgeous bike either way.

Is the link broken - all I got was an old Honda?

Rather an old Honda than a new Triumph... at least I know the oil will be where I left it...

Oil leaks - What century are you livin' in?Oh come on, you're making it too easy for me :lol:

Surely obvious troll was obvious? :whistle:

(but you're right, now they just burn it instead of leaking it) :p

shame about the paint jobs on both of them.
they would look ok with straight white or red, why do designers think adding more bits of colour is better. soooo 80's

OK - I'll tell you what I think honestly then.

This has nothing to do with Brand year or aesthetics.
Addressing the ergos and the performance characteristics only.

I see a lovely track bike that is not very well suited to NZ road riding conditions.
The frequent surface hazards, condition of the roads, standard of road users and stringent speed law enforcement make it so.

I like how you're a good cunt that can take a little ribbing :2thumbsup

btw, I agree with your assessment... my motivation to own that particular model would only be to own something that looks like somebody actually cared about how not only it was designed, but how it was put together (that's the impression I get when I poke around them)... of course, that is a cold comfort when your butt is asleep after 100km.

Like the white one,but have to agree,that the pipes look a bit weird, and i don't like digital rev counters.
Fucks sake,it took me long enough to get used to a digital speedo read out :lol:,but IMO, i think the revs look better in analogue.

PS;
Why plaster your bike with free advertising stickers,when you've paid that company good money for their product?
Unless they sponsor you racing,that one's got me buggered.

This is true,and i can live with that.(I have to.It's on my bike as well.)

But it's not a "Dynojet" bike,nor is it a "Showa" bike.

It's only my opinion,but i reckon that a lot of bikes come out with more then enough stuff stuck on them.

First to go would be those hit with ugly stick mufflers though... seriously, WTF were they thinking???
