    Yeah I never rode one. Just figured I'd try slow down a bit on the road. Actually the tenure on the Tiger did that but didn't need full on sportsbike again.
    Maybe.
    Well my 2 stroke should be the antidote to that if it ever gets finished.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I guess its testament to how good the Street Triple R is that I have owned mine since 2013 I think and while I've thought about replacing it a number of times, its such a good bike for what I do on a bike that I haven't needed or wanted to.

    Funny them stopping making the Daytona not long before Triumph became the official Moto2 engine supplier. Sport bike sales in Britain sagged bigly, but even so.

    Possibly a new one coming out to cash in on the Moto publicity? The field will sound glorious with rowdy triples at full song tearing around.

    Now, if only we could change the farting of the Moto3 bikes.
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

    This fuckwit wants $25000 for a bike that was $26605 in 2008. $160.05 in depreciation a year over ten years. But its a 105th anniversary edition. Oh, shit, the hundred and FIFTH anniversary, well clearly that shit will make it worth moonbeams to a "collector". Also what sort of gaping asshole does even less ks in a year than I do? 80 kms a year.

    What is it about people?

    If I liked it, which I don't, $12-14k would be my price range. Those 10 year old tyres will need changing, from day one, and having not had any fluid changes, over such a long time, is not a good thing at all.

    Worse - it has had two owners who put a total of 800kms on it! Living the American dream ......

    I have a theory - it was someones pride and joy new purchase, they unfortunately fell ill quite quickly and died. The family did not feel right selling it until now. And they have no idea about motorcycles - thus it cost $26k new is 'like new' thus must be worth $25k.

    There are just so many better options, for your $12k.

    That's a whole lot of ugly right there. Matched the Hartley almost.

    Brown seat, wrapped headers, "Can hear the oil pump chain a bit when cold", apparently the bike was stripped and rebuilt but somehow there's no mention of engine work on a 38 y.o. Honda with 105,000 km's on the clock...

    Oh and at time of posting this, it's got 69 people watching it.

    As a refreshing change, here's a bike with a completely realistic seller:
