[IdunBrokdItAgin]

I get it now.

That's a good read. Thanks

Just ignore the waste of space, that's what your ignore button is for

Excellent review and your comment about what bike you've come from (and indeed where you ride) are really valid points. I must say that I'm really impressed with it, even coming from something with 50 more horses!

As running-in is progressing well, I stuck my radar detector on it yesterday and today; my Italian screen arrived which I bought through eBay. Makes it look like something out of Predator! Just got to make time to get out and try it now

That screen does look good. Got the factory one on mine, is good as well but I like it that there is a bit of choice of accessories out there for this bike.

Sorry, your review was AWESOME with 3 !!!, Totally rad. Loved it.

(it actually wasn't bad, i was just laughing at that one sentence as it makes no sence at all.)

I aint going to say it was brilliant, because it wasn't. If you can't handle it QQ some moar.

Fair play - I was bit drunk while typing it - surprised so much of did make sense when I looked at it the next day.

I also apologise about my comment before. It's a free world after all and this is the internet.

Whelp, I think you should keep your experiences to yourself. Some of us are trying hard to be contented with our current rides, and don't need you, Blackbird and James Joyce Deuce extolling the virtues of these seemingly wonderful bikes and making us all malcontented and wistful. I've been with my woman for nearly 32 years now, and don't want to jeopardise that for a seductive lump of metal and plastic.

Bugger off. :edit:

As for my bike - I thought I'd fallen in love with it again last night after listening to its lumpy idle with the restrictor out of the Satantune, and you've gone and ruined that.

Mine's awful. Every time I ride it this wierd expression of disgust comes onto my face. The ends of my mouth seems to be pointing up. Odd huh?

Well, fuck you too then! And the horsie you rode in on.

You can't get one otherwise you'd have to change your login name.
Stripperman perhaps?

Good idea stating where you've come from bike wise. The 675 is a great bigger bike and I suspect you'll find it a bit of a keeper!

Re torque - jump on one of the wizz bang 600 sport bikes - you'll suddenly realise the 675 is a grunter.

Blackbird - looks ace

Any chance you could post some more piccys of your bike with the screen on? Like a straight bike level side on and a front on (whole bike from a distance). Are you happy with it functionwise? It certainly looks damn good.

And what kind of detector is it you're running?

Cheers Iain! You've got a true side-on in the previous pictures. Here are some more which I took yesterday. I'll do a full bike shot tomorrow. Functionwise, I haven't tried it yet - only fitted it yesterday and haven't been out on it yet - maybe tomorrow too!

I've got an Escort 8500 X50 which I've had for about 3 or 4 years. It has a weatherproof cover and a "screamer" audible warning which you can see on the side shot in the first photos, mounted directly behind the headlights on the alloy support casting.

I likey a lot - has the appearance of floating above the lights which keeps that rugged naked appearance.

When you do get round to it, I'd love to see a full side on shot

sorry for the thread hi-jack wild weston (but Blackbird is resisting becoming an official "Stripler") http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/group.php?groupid=100

No worries about the high-jack, happy as long as it is all good stripler stuff.

Go on blackbird - become an official stripler - you know you want to.

[Monkeynz]

I do. There definitely is a "hoon switch" on the bike. It doesn't so much whisper, " Go on, you know you want to" or "Who you lookin' at?" as shouts it! Good job there isn't much traffic or Plod on my playground. I'd be in trouble if I lived in one of the cities

Nice blog Jim

Yep I have to agree, there is a hoon switch, only problem is being that it doesn't get turned off very often. I fitted the complete arrow exhaust system on mine about 3 months ago and all you want to do is screw open that throttle, the sound is just awesome. I absolutely love the street triple, I did a trip from Chch to Greymouth recently(about 2.5hours) and it loved it, can sit on the ton no worries and carves up the twisties and didn't have sore wrists not like my mates on their R1's and ZX10's.
