New Triumph 675

**sennandy** · 6th March 2006, 21:19

My brother in the UK has just traded his Honda CBR600RR in for one of these babies, all I have read about them is great, they do look great seen one back in the UK before I came they look like a Ducati.

I think Triumph have it right this time with this machine, brother says it has so much more mid range then the Honda and feels smaller, if a bike can feel smaller than a 600RR.

What do you guys think?

Yeah they are pretty nice huh!

A mate owns the Triumph dealership here in Chch, he told us that apparantly there will only be 12 released into NZ. One for each Triumph dealership. Bit of a rough one for him as he could of already sold 4, but there is only one on the way.

So unless someone has their name on the top of a list somewhere they might find it very hard to get one in NZ.

Triumph couldnt possibly be that stupid!? They are trying to remake their name and they aint supplying a product, especially dangerous when you look at the other 600s about.

It's not because they are stupid. It's because their entire 2006 quota has been pre-sold..... They simply can't build them fast enough.

Thanks Joni , we should have picked one up in London , with only 4 days to go I don't like her chances.

There's one in our workshop right now, but it won't be for long. As soon as it's PDI'ed the new owner gets it.
Pure sex though. The rear end is straight Ducati. Shame we can't fire it up yet.

Whooaa! They've landed. Post some pics Lou. Looking forward to seeing one, but sounds like it will be unpacked and gone in 60 seconds.

i popped into the workshop to have my head torqued up and managed to see the beast on the bench; sexy looking bike indeed. The owner showed up and had a test sit on her and he looked like he shot his load... literally.

very pretty
