Did you get a chance to wring it out a bit? The bike that is....

Not even slightly. But you won't care.
It has lots more torque from low revs than any 600, and around the same top end. So you don't have to tapdance on the shift to get anywhere.

A mate of mine was real keen to buy the Triumph 675 but found it was too tall for him so I believe he's bought a Triumph Thruxton - He's a little Dave. Not told me about this either information came second hand.

Well, it looks like they have designed it to be "surprisingly" quick. After all, look at the seat, they've even put a little channel in it for when you sh*t yourself . . .

New wallpaper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuck i love that bike..... how much are they going for, Im sure holeshot had one sitting in thier window next to the 995 but it seems to have dissapeared. Read a review on them a while ago but it didnt seem very thought out. Perhaps you could bang one out BD

I've got to be honest, I really don't like the look of the 675.

At first I thought it looked fairly sharp, but after seeing it in magazine shots and in the flesh it has just dated already. It looks anaemic, too thin, the colours are boring, the front fairing looks like it should be an inch or so higher, the lights are horrible and it looks too tall.

I know I'm in a minority here and it gives everyone else a hard on, or wide on should that be the case, but it is just an uninspiring looking motorcycle.

Mind you, I'm still gonna try and get a ride on it.

They are all pre-sold. i reckon AMPS would have bought this one themselves.
I have done a report- but I'll run it out in Kiwi Rider first.
Book a demo ride and sus it for yourself?
