Well this is a dash and a poor effort at an add.

I'd cleaned it but forgot to take pictures. Heck I've only just decided to sell it. Try to get pics by weekend. Might put it on TM.

Most comfortable bike I've owned, and a lot of fun esp on our broken roads, but with young kids I don't do long rides and I've got ichy feet for a Street Triple. Like these Triples, 6 years time for a change of some sort.

Anyone who has ridden it says its the most comfortable bike they've ridden, but a lot of that is down to the 3 grand I've thrown at the suspension. Never regret the investment.

Cheapest one of these I've seen was $7500. It had 82k and sold in two weeks. Currently on tardme there's one with 78k for $8200. They seem to do high miles no problems.

Oh lordy I want to buy this bike, please won't someone get in a bidding war with me?

Opps, guess I should have registered as an alternative user in my gmail address.:shutup:

Probably better off selling it on TM, I have yet to do that with mine. Does yours have luggage?

Cheapest on TM at the moment is $6900 buy now 08' 111,000kms.

This Street Triple was great buying in 2011..http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/142509-Triumph-Street-Triple

Excellent work, if I could be a selfish prick I would opt for something like that also. But alas we will forever be a one bike family so means one built for two is our market place.

You have to do what you have to do. We are a one bike household. Well at least one registered. The RZ is on hold and the Stinger isn't on yet. The dirtbike and the two race bikes are off road only of course.
