Street Triple

[Gubb]

Whilst I am not prepared to compromise on the principle that Bleck is the One True Colour for a Motor Sickle, I must admit that the the striples (and the Ducati 848) are quite gorgeous in white.

My thoughts exactly. Just those two bikes, and possibly a hornet.

I saw a White Goldwing once, it looked like a fridge on wheels.

One of my colleagues just bought a white 848 as his First Proper Bike after his Hobag 250.

I had never realised that it was possible to experience such a potent mix of disapproval and envy.

Fridge on wheels

A fridge on wheels holds beer, don't knock it!

Stop talking about triumphs goddammit! Gubb have you got yer new ride yet????

I have a feeling the force has been kind to Gubb ... stay tuned for an update

I’ve already decided that I’m not too interested in the GSX-R/ZX/CBR/R6’s , as I have absolutely zero ambition to be the next Rossi, and I think I would get frustrated by having a bike that I could only ever use 1/5^th of the available potential. Fuck taking corners at close to Warp 9. I want to have fun.

Sounds like a man in Street is on my list of nakeds to try out before I buy another bike.

Don't think that just because it's not a supersport you'll be able to ride it to anywhere near it's potential on the road. I'm sure it'll still do 100km/h in first on one wheel and will entice you to lose your license at every opportunity

Well Done Gubb!!!
Tried the black one at cyclespot couple of weeks back.
Loved It!

I have a GSX650F, had it for about 4 months. I really don't like it, it is not a riders bike, it's for getting from A to B.
And it's so damn heavy and big.

Wow. Just Wow. I don’t know if I can find the right words for this, so here’s a few that I just slapped together:

....

The GSX-F 650 is a far more comfortable bike, it would be a better commuter, it would get me to work with no hassles, all the time. The Street Triple would get me to work late because I took the long way, with a massive smile on my dial.

Striple wins.

Where do I sign?

has anyone compared the street triple with and with out fly screen? does it make any differnce? i rode stripple with out screen and thought it was still less windy than my monster.

Don't know about the street but was talking to a mate who has one on his speed 3 and recons it does make the hell difference (we are talking track riding though)

[Gubb]

I'm getting a screen, hopefully next week, so i'll let you know.

[TimothyS]

Well I got the big arse screen instead of the smoked one, and I'm not sure if I notice a difference at all. Then again I have been riding to boxing class in a tshirt and shorts, so that may be affecting my perception somewhat... jeez it's getting cold!

I forgot about this.

The screen and visor certainly makes a difference with prolonged motorway speeds. Much less chest blast.

I did not notice a screen?
Must admit though, its one thing I have been thinking about for the CB!
I have seen a few with a givi and I guess, maybe I would put it on only on a long trip etc.

[Gubb]

It's been on for a few weeks, I'll get a photo up at some point. I'm a lazy bugger.
