Auckland Street Triple owners

I guess this is a good of a place as any,

rather than the awesomness of the striples, what are the negatives? Like what's something not good about them??


if at all

Seat takes a while to get used to.

Standard suspension needs work.

That's about it.

Turning circle is shit under 5km/hour.... bit of a pain when moving around a tight space like a garage or parking spot. Over 5km/hr the triple's cornering ability is fantastic

Fantastic little bike, really enjoy riding it, it was a good idea not to get the R as it would have been a waste for now.

Did a 350k round trip to Coromandel Town today.
The trip there was really nana-ish, I seem to have lost a little confidence after having come off the Suz a couple months back on some oil/rain - now everything looks like oil on the road (I've only had my full for 5 months).

Trip back was better, started getting a handle on my lines and generally was less of a pussy, big thanks to a couple of guys on sportbikes ahead of me for the visual tips. It will be worth spending a few $$ on doing an advanced course with someone like RiderSkills sooner than later.

Bike wise, agree with other posters:
* Poor steering lock for (very) low speed turns, not a major issue
* Seat is an arse killer Both the standard and gel, perhaps my roids aren't helping though.. hoping the gel seat softens up a bit over time, otherwise I'm going to have to go custom.

Grab the January issue of Superbike mag (BP sell it), there is a long article on wheelies where they compare seven bikes, the Striple comes out top by a mile.

Another good reason to get one.
