Trumpys just a big multiracial conglomeration of all the bikes.. that's why it looks good.. takes all the strong points from them all. In my opinion anyway.
Fuck I feel like riding down sh22 and terrorising your wife on your street magic... she still at home or in the big building with the red cross?

I would have got a Daytona 955i if i had the coin at the time, but im stoked with Sprint, in fact , i like the look of it more than the new one, same as i like the 68'-69' vettes over the newer ones.

Got XS750?? Try http://www.yamaha-triples.org/
The British shouldn't be allowed to build machinery full stop. One looks at the crap they design, and wonders what they hell they were thinking.

I read that the CBR 600 RR comes last just like its Big brother does in all the Shoot outs as well . But why do they do so well Racing ?? As with another mag that rated the ZX10 R 06 as the poorest Track bike out of 5 other bikes ?? They just won for the 3rd year in a row the Masters Bike ? Doesn't give ya much Faith in these Mags if you took what they said as Gosple .
I got the AMCN so I could read how fast my bike's gone from hero to zero! What a picky world we live in hey. Now we all have to sell our bikes and get the latest fashion icon. The fear that someone else's bike can beat mine by 1.02 secs to the next cafe on the other side of the race track is just too much to bear.
The article was far too short. You buy the mag to check out the comparisons and all you get is a few short paragraphs on each bike! Rip-off. It takes 1 minute to read the whole story. Seems a waste of Journos pay, time and travel costs to fly 17 to a track to spend days thrashing bikes with all sorts of data equipment, only to spit out a quickie report that's almost lost between the adverts.
Bloody well done Triumph I say :first: They've given us something different to pick from that obviously delivers the goodies and at a fair price.
So who's looking for a near new black 636, one careful owner?

Blasphemy! To dare question the gospel according to bike journos. That will cost you 20 Hail Mary's or 6 bourbon and cokes.

The first two are machines - the 3rd is a tool.

will the 675 be compaired to the 750s? It is as close to 750cc as it is to 600....
Nice bike tho

SOME MAGS ARE A BIT BIASED BUT ITS HARD TO FUDGE MASTER BIKE RESULTS.
THOSE CBR1000RR DO SUCK GET ANY OTHER 1000 SPORTS BIKES SPEND JUST A FEW BUCKS ON IT AND ITS A FUCKEN ROCKET
NOTHE HONDA THO LOOK AT JAREDS BIKE THEY SPENT OVER TWICE AS MUCH ON THAT BIKE THAN ANY ON THE GRID AND IT STILL WAS TOO SLOW.
YOU NEED BIG BUDGETS LIKE TEN KATE OR AUSSIE SPB TO MAKE THEM FLY

Yep I went for a looksee today at Amps. My main concern was finish, well I was pleased with the finish. My other concern is durability. Will keep an ear for the next 6-9 months, see if anyone has any problems.. Then will see what the new zx6r is like (if they do bring a new one out). The 675 has got my attention, and if Kawasaki follow Yamaha and build a very track orientated bike. Then I may find myself on a Triumph. I love my 636, but if they turn it into anything like the new R6 it would be a waste of bike for me. We all know I aint exactly a track demon.:blip:

I RECKON YOU SHOULD GET THE TRUMPY , EVEN IF ITS A FEW MORE BUCKS THE TRUMPYS TEND TO HOLD THEIR VALUE A LITTLE BETTER AND I THINK ITS THE NICEST TO LOOK AT OUT THE BUNCH , HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A TRIPLE WITH A GOOD EXHAUST BTW SOUNDS GREAT

Another three weeks for mine to get here!
British engineering is the best ya know... They invented the cat and look how well that’s doing!
Odd how it got the #2 spot in a pommy mag, dunno when they’ve got a good thing!
Better sell the Bandit, kinder went over budget a tad!

Would love to see one in the flesh but Hamilton-motorcycles dont seem likely to be getting one down, there's a reasonable online shoot-out here:

summary:
Yes, the Trumpet comes out a clear winner on our score sheets, even if we wish its ergos were more accommodating and it had a slipper clutch. But had we included our subjective feelings, this contest would've been a bloodbath. The combination of a vastly superior street powertrain and the bike's distinctive appearance proved to be irresistible for our testers. Irresistible, you ask? Yep, just ask our head honcho, Becklin, who ponied up his own money and bought a graphite-colored Daytona for his personal use. Endorsements don't get any stronger than that.
