    Wanna bet? All that cheap rubbish from China has names that closely resemble the "real thing"
    -ONLY correcting ya cos I'm seriously green with envy.
    I don't often lust after a motorcycle but that 675 to me is just sex on wheels.
    First one I saw in the flesh was in wellywood at new years. Mein gott that is one sayxy bike.
    Homologation would make it a multi class bike too --BILLY say BILLY

    Loving my F3, really starting to gell with it now, and what a machine it is! I'm no super experienced road racer, so i can't comment on things like cutting edge handling and the posting of record low laptimes. What I can say however is that i've never had a bike that gets under your skin quite like the F3 (and i've had a few bikes ) Yes it's not perfect, hell no bike is, but all those initial reports of rubbish fuelling down low and now pointless, mine has been faultless from day 1. Little tricky to launch compared to my old jappa 600, but hell who really cares??? But it makes up for any small shortcomings in so many ways. It feels magical on the road, so light and nimble. And the sound it makes is something else, nothing at all like the Triumph 675, far more guttural, some may say it sounds rough and unfinished, but they haven't taken it north of 10k rpm and even on a closed throttle its just mmmmmmmm
    It's the kind of bike you can just walk down to the garage and end up staring at for quite some time, cleaning it is always a pleasure rather than a chore, and any excuse for a ride, even a short one, is grabbed at! The missus can attest to this
    I'm usually one to change my bike every year, but i can say now quite confidently that the F3 will be with me for a long time to come (hmmm unless they do bring out the 800 version)
    I do believe if you are in the market for a new sportsbike, go and take one of these for a spin, I do believe a few dealers have a demonstrator.


    Hell ride it even if you arn't buying
