might have to go have a ride..

I'm told they all are pre-sold till the next batch arrives in 6-8 weeks.

Are you sure it is for sale?
Just been in there. Spoke to Carl about it. Its definately for sale, apparently everyone thats been in there wanting one, has wanted the scorched yellow colour and not the graphite.

I think they're on crack. The Graphite is all class.

After orange the graphite would be my pick. They don't come in orange only calf shit? Then would have to be graphite!

nah, that's a bland orange. In order of brilliance, going from least to best, it'd have to be that tractor, flouro safety vests, then KTM bikes, then Kawa bikes..

I bet it was ordered and cancelled. Triumph have been telling me there are none available worldwide. somebody will score nicely.

On kwaks its just another colour, KTM have made it their trademark and anybody with any bike knowledge can immediatly identify a KTM , this fine sir is much more brilliant than your gaudy bike.

'Tis cos she is fat and wearing a tight bra. Very bad for the back that is, an overtight bra. 'Tis an act of christian charity for someone to offer to help her loosen it up - or remove it completely

Triumph Dealer down here wanted 4 of them and couldn't get them even though they had three confirmed sales, next lot wasn't due till May when they get 1 more

March edition of Rapid Bike mag has a write up about the 675. Sounds good.

not really.. theirs is just orange plastic. ok, so they made it 'their colour', but that's not hard. Kawa managed to do it properly.. ;)

Ok ok, slightly misleading thread title. My apologies.

There's still a brand new graphite one of these sitting in Holeshot on the shore for $16,995. Why hasn't someone bought this beautiful beautiful bike?
So they're going for $16,995. That's bloody good value for a euro bike. Wouldn't want to be a Yamaha Dealer trying to sell the new R6 for $17,500 up against the Triumph. No contest to me. If I hadn't picked up a new bike in january- and loving it, I would be on the phone now to that shop. Bugger, it's all in the timing.
