New bike!

[John_H]

Picked up my 2007 Speed Triple 1050 yesterday!! Already fallen in love with her, so much torque and power, what an excellent choice I made. She already needs a clean due to a ride in the rain today but that will have to wait for the weekend. A few people have been guessing what I was buying .......ta daaa!

Here are come pics for your viewing pleasure.

Really need to get rid of the ugly rear fender. The twin after market exhausts sound amazing, I had to buy some earplugs today.216898216899216900216901

Good choice of bike and oh that Triple sound!.....:love:
I will be back on British one day.

[MIXONE]

WooHoo - well done John - the worlds worst kept secret is unveiled. Florence is absolutely gorgeous:yes:
I found it noisy enough riding behind Prudence, I am staying well away from you now:blink::shutup:
So - when do we get to meet her in person

I can't make it out this Saturday as I'm busy working on my house but weather permitting I'll be out on Sunday. I thought you didn't know what I had bought?

[Rogue Rider]

Well done mate, I love my 07 speed triple too. I have had mine since March and have clocked over 10,000km so far.
Bike is everything in one, toy, blaster, racer, and instant wheelie god.... Livin the dream.
I have modified my aftermarket cans to get the absolute best out of the tone and performance. She sings like an opera singer on max power.
I added a ventura rack system, and a Stebel Magnum Horn which is handy for clearing a path.

Enjoy your beast.:Punk::Punk::Punk::Punk::Punk::Punk::Punk::P unk::2guns::2guns:

when you let slip it was from Motorad - we all guessed a Triple was joining the family:shifty:

[Owl]

Bloody good taste you have there John and it looks great!:msn-wink:

Now where was it imported from, cause it doesn't look like an NZ model?:confused:

Thanks Carla:yes: I have always been terrible at keeping secrets. I wanted to ride mysteriously up to a meeting point for one of our rides and reveal myself like I was the stig, but I only lasted one day in keeping it a secret!

It's so much fin riding with you I hope we can get out on Sunday with this bloody weather.

[Genie]

I'm jealous...I meet one of these delightful bikes on sunday....very very nice.

Well done. Won't say enjoy because that's a redundant comment.

How big is your grin?

[Owl]

Very odd?

Shorter exhaust header and heat shield suggest foreign model.

[ajturbo]

i test rode one of those (09 model) i nearly brought one (the CR won though)..

had trouble keeping the front on the ground... have fun BUT respect it!!!

[nutjob]

Awesome! They certainly are a blast to ride.

Good luck keeping the front down! :cool:

[2wheeldrifter]

[ernie953]

Nice ride mate, I'm enjoying mine to the max. The bling list is extensive and expensive lol.

[John_H]

Thanks, looking forward to seeing your new bike we spoke about in Motorad! I bet Dave has got a taste for a new one!

[John_H]

Nice one John,:yes:

I did love the V-Twin, it was difficult watching her go.

[shafty]

Congrats on your Triple Treat

[sinfull]

[nudemetalz]

[Corse1]

Thats why I can't bring myself to sell mine :blink: I do admit to having a freind over last week from OZ. We went for a ride on the Friday and half way through I was ready to ditch the twin for the triple :yes: but he wouldn't let it go :angry:

Nice purchase. they are an all round bike and very addictive :shifty:

[Eyegasm]

Take Sinfull up on his offer with the hacksaw!!! that tail makes my hyos rear end look small.

So next on the list
-Belly Pan
-Seat Cowl
-Tail Tidy

[vifferman]

Congratulations, John! Noice bike. :niceone:
Now just make sure you keep it shiny side up. :yes:


Here are come pics for your viewing pleasure.

Oh ouch!!! :shutup:

[sinfull]

PUT DOWN THE HACKSAW

Was only kidding, like Chris said they come away nicely with a couple of allen keys !

Someone will have the address of the outfit who do the intergrated tail lights, all ya need do then is adapt the number plate light onto the brackets ya make up for the plate, easy as, even for a rough bastard like me !

CLEAR ALTERNATIVES (http://clearalternatives.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CA&Category_Code=SpeedTriple) for the integrated tail light.

[Gone Burger]

Florance is a sexy beastie! Ans yes - you are terrible at keeping secrets. It seems that the bunch of us all rather predicatable for our next choice in bikes... You, Christy (yes christy we all knew!), me, and even Candice.

But its an awesome bike - how the hell am I going to keep up with you now on my fat cruiser??

Let me know if you rock on out on Sunday - I can come meet you over the other side again late avo. Would love to see the bike. Boy you are going to have soooooo much fun on that thing!

[Gone Burger]

Nice little tripple club happening for the Kapiti rides!

Im getting all jealous over here! Loved your new toy too miss! You look FAB on it!

[Bounce001]

Congrats!

You will love it as much as as I love mine. Has anyone told you yet that it's a Girls bike? :bleh:

[Blinkwing]

*acts taken aback*

...

I still think it's an awesome little bike.

[John_H]

Thanks for all your generous and very true comments on the overall awesomeness of the bike! Rode in to Wellington on it today and I am absolutely in love. Getting rid of the rear shovel was always my first priority, I have a fender eliminator kit on its way from ebay, I'm keeping the indicators the way they are at present and they will fit to the new eliminator bracket. See you all out on the road folks.

Katie, hopefully will be out Sunday, it's all weather dependant!
