New Triumph 675

[sennandy]

My brother in the UK has just traded his Honda CBR600RR in for one of these babies, all I have read about them is great, they do look great seen one back in the UK before I came they look like a Ducati.

I think Triumph have it right this time with this machine, brother says it has so much more mid range then the Honda and feels smaller, if a bike can feel smaller than a 600RR.

What do you guys think?

Had a good look over one of these at the MCN London show , Certianly look the part , had a sit on it and the ergo's seemed good as well.
It's currently on the wifes shortlist for her next bike so hopefully will get to ride one.

Yeah they are pretty nice huh!

A mate owns the Triumph dealership here in Chch, he told us that apparantly there will only be 12 released into NZ. One for each Triumph dealership. Bit of a rough one for him as he could of already sold 4, but there is only one on the way.

So unless someone has their name on the top of a list somewhere they might find it very hard to get one in NZ.

Superbike mag tested and sounds like it could beat the Japs....lots of hi tech stuff.

Triumph couldnt possibly be that stupid!? They are trying to remake their name and they aint supplying a product, especially dangerous when you look at the other 600s about.

It's not because they are stupid. It's because their entire 2006 quota has been pre-sold..... They simply can't build them fast enough.

Thanks Joni , we should have picked one up in London , with only 4 days to go I don't like her chances.

There's one in our workshop right now, but it won't be for long. As soon as it's PDI'ed the new owner gets it.
Pure sex though. The rear end is straight Ducati. Shame we can't fire it up yet.

oooo contemplates skiving off work early just to have a look...

Whooaa! They've landed. Post some pics Lou. Looking forward to seeing one, but sounds like it will be unpacked and gone in 60 seconds.

Fortunately I know who's it is and pitchas will be forthcoming.

i popped into the workshop to have my head torqued up and managed to see the beast on the bench; sexy looking bike indeed. The owner showed up and had a test sit on her and he looked like he shot his load... literally.

very pretty:not:

[sennandy]

My brother was told if he wanted yellow he could have it by the end of the month, grey and red by the end of June, it has to be red!:eek:

He got a great deal to trade his RR and he got a full arrow exhaust system with it

[Waylander]

When you get yours can I have your Duc?

The owner is an occasional KBer

Finally saw one today at WMCC. Dark grey. Beautiful, stunning, gorgeous. Did I mention it's beautiful, Slim and light - all the good traits of a fine woman, but even better the bike wont answer you back or expect conversation after you've had your fun screwing it.
Tempted, so tempted.
