Not brand new or burnt orange but it does have the coolest paint job I've seen on a Triumph. Black with grey pattern (very hard to describe the actual pattern in words - tribal/squirly is the best I can come up with), tank and windscreen match so it looks proffesionally done.

Didn't look at the price or mileage so can't comment on these, but it looked like a 2005 onwards model.

Well worth a look if you are nearby.

Thanks for that. I called in yesterday and saw it when picking up an oil filter for the SV. Certainly looked unique. That particular bike apparently comes with factory black (you can take the tribal / swirly decals off if you want). That bike also has factory performance mufflers fitted too.

I still prefer the gloss burnt orange though.. Motorad has both a matt orange street triple R and gloss orange speed triple to oogle at.

Brownie's outside Tauranga has one sitting in his setup. I am sure it had drum brake front... A early blue one. He told me it had not been refurbished, but only tidyed up and had all orginal bits. I will pop in again this w/e and I take a pic and post it here. But without doing any research I am not sure if they came with drums or discs? I know that the early 500's had drum. Perhaps diffrent setup for different markets?

I already have 3 of my most favourite bike...

but I'd really love a Vincent...any Vincent I don't care! Love them so much I named my firstborn after the things.

Probably the only other one I'd sell my firstborn for would be a 1940's Indian. Maybe not sell firstborn, he's left home now and is a way cool young man..second born son is up for sale at the moment tho, I'd swap him no trouble

Im more into vintage than modern stuff, can you tell?

hmm where to start.........

anything Ducati.....
anthing that actually goes.....
sorry Steve, not a Hyosung (not that i dislike them per se... just not a Dream bike on a Wish List

)
anything being ridden by: Johnny Depp, George, Brad (circa 1990's), Bradly Cooper........... that would include a crappy old nifty fifty!!!!
