[CHOPPA]

Ofcoarse a triumph owners gonna say there great! But for what its worth actually it will prob put you off the bike coming from a kawasaki rider! There a cool bike! Sound mean, look the goods and have a good useable power for the road. Nick O chucks one around the race tracks damn fast and im sure Shaun H will be doing the same very soon

[Big Dave]

Very good time to buy one. Triumph have good stocks and the dealer red pencil should be sharp.

With the currency tanking I suspect they will get more expensive shortly too.

[RantyDave]

Go and ride one.

Dave

[Kiwibacon]

Sinfull ask Balzybuell what bike was thrown around like a sportsbike following him over the Rimmers.
I aint no girl M8.
And my 200sx aint a girls car either.
But im sic of cars so it gos. .... that includes the wife as well as the 2 kids My bikes more important to me

[jafar]

The Daytona is good, the Street Triple is better. Sit upright position & wider bars with nearly the same power output. Far better for doing the rimmertucka hill :shutup:

[Kiwibacon]

I would like less of the situp posistion and go for the tuckd in posistion. the street triple is what size? 900 1000. i want the 675 cos its lightweight and flicable so im told which would suit my height, weight.

[Madness]

675 be perfect for ya bud. Just watch the passing on the left shit aye?

Thanks Jafar will follow links

I brought my 675 a month a go. So far i find the bike excellent, it handles like it's on rails, and lovs to tuck in to corners, i found the harder i ride it the better it seems to handle and perform, the engine is the best part, very smooth on power, although being 95kg, i do find i keep it down a lower gear than i would on a bigger bike, but that is to be expected. I personally think it is the best looking bike in the 600 range, the riding position is agressive but that is why i like it. I thik the 675 has a lot of charater as well. Any way my 2 cents worth hope it helps.

[laRIKin]

A lot of people like the Street Triple more as the Daytona you are tucked up pretty tight.

Some have put higher clip-ons on the Daytona to fix this and then are happy as.

There is a new Street Triple R model coming out that has all the goodies of the Daytona and you still ride in the Street Triples upright position.

It would be best to ride both or even all three so you can compare.

I would go the the new Street Triple R or a Daytona with higher clip-on's.

And then again a nice cheap, second hand Street Triple, could find it's way into my shed and I would be happy as well.

[Kiwibacon]

Thanks for the input Raf an Lem. The Daytona with fairing I would prefer.
Less wind on the face n chest as opposed to my Harley when at hi-speed.

After ive voted im goin down to Welly Motor cycls then the Triumph dealer round the corner.
See prices and (if not running sons around) Maybe take a demo ride.

[Kiwibacon]

675 be perfect for ya bud. Just watch the passing on the left shit aye?

Geez big guy U stil alive... thought u fallen off the world... U never call into shop. Good hookin up with u again thru KB. We gotta ride sometime. Ring. Pop in. TxT. Kbiker me. Even rite a letter ta tramp... hahaha.

You do remember I moved to orchland aye?. Shit roads up here mate, only the Coro Loop comes close. Whoever it was that said the Taka's are over-rated is full of shit.

[saul]

They are a fantastic bike and make you giggle and laugh.:banana:

I looked at going back to a twin as I was selling the grey ghost but the more bikes i sat on and tried the more I knew I was gonna get another 675.

I have come from 1000cc jap bikes and loved them, then to the little 636 and none of them have given me the fun factor of the 675.

I would say that if you are coming from a HD then you may find that your wrist will carry more weight than what you are used too.

Part from that standup wheelies on the 675 are so good:banana: she brakes well and I am always confident of getting around the corner lol:whistle:

I am 45 yrs 6 foot weigh 83 kg and she delivers the goods.

Prices are red hot at the moment

Try and buy.

I went from Fireblade 1000 to Kwak 636 and have had the 675 for 11 months now - done 22,000km on it. One long Sth island trip , no comfort problems. Cheap to service, no reliability problems and really good on fuel and tyres. Getting more tyre mileage than the 636.

The fairing offers reasonable wind protection too. Once up to speed the riding position is spot on. You sit high, so some found the sensation of 'falling' a long way over into a corner a bit ..scary at first, but it becomes second nature. Actually, stick Conti Attack tyres on and the sensation is gone. The standard tyres caused that 'falling over feeling" as you lean.

It's a super light bike, piece of piss to throw around in tight corners. Brakes are great. It doesn't reward slow riders. In fact it tells them to piss off and not to come back until they've grown some balls.

I've ridden nothing that feels so well planted when going into a bend fast. My decision to buy one was a bolt out of the blue. I had no intention to get a 675. I took one for a spin over the rapa and was blown away by the handling. If you want to chase that cornering adrenaline rush, then the Daytona is for you.
The new Street Triple R that arrives soon might be worth a look too but it's 17 hp down. Which brings me to the second great feature on the dayt.- that MOTOR. Shit it's amazing. I can ride up the Nga Gorge in top gear at 1800 rpm, just above idle, and just open it up and smile a mile wide as all you get is instant, smooooth acceleration. Miles better than a twin can do, or four. But the icing on the cake is it delivers a top end rush and exhaust howl like no other.
Bugger, I've wet myself thinking about it, time to change undies and go for a ride!
And the price is the same or even below that of a Jappa 600!

I'm with you on tinkering with bikes suspension and stuff. I'm a buy em, turn key and ride em sort of person. If it requires after purchase cash to get it right - why the hell buy something that's obviously inferior to start with.

So what are you waiting for? If you keep your Harley then you can do track days aswell on the Dayt.

Let us know what you do. WMCC have been selling some sharp priced near new Triumphs lately. Don't think they have a Dayt in at the mo.
edit- red ones are faster.

+ 1 to all of the above, the harder you ride it the better it feels.

[coffeejunkie]

Hay all you shit talkers, Being as i was on the back the day that kiwibacon was hard on our ass over the rimmies and believe you me balzy was crackning it that day i do believe that yes kiwibacon you should "MAN UP" and get ya self a sports bike, I know your keen as after we saw the trumpy 675 on the rimmies that day, By the way that bike was mint as and sum body loves it very much, LOL, So yeh anyway trade in the car cuz ya never drive it anyway, As for the family.........Maybe give trade me a go, Oh hang on your not aloud to sell ppl on line, Anyway i should say that cuz thats my aunty and cousins ya talking about, I love my family, Guess that includes your sorry ass to, LOL

[Kiwibacon]

Went down to Motorad for look at bike...Red used 675... Very nice compact lookin bike. Talked to slsman.... Bike had no battery in so didnt get chance to ride...altho thats cool. (gotta sell car first anyway) :clap: and by then the 2009 model probably out. choices choices choices i can wait.
Thanks for all the input people i have enough info now to make my choice. Im :done: now thanks.

[vgcspares]

With most models under my belt - I'd recommend the 675 over any other Triumph and the Daytona over the Street Triple. More fun, no hang-ups I ever found (cept maybe the seat's a bit hard for long rides) and if you're looking at one then it'll probably suit the kind of riding you're wanting.

[Kiwibacon]

Altzimers :bye: it do funny things to ya head Big guy (Madness). No realy i 4got u moved up there u traitor..
