Triumph Street Triple 675

So the 'new one' is due out soon with a tad extra power and fancy suspension.

What do you reckon... get a 'standard' one now, or wait til the 'R' model comes out and buy one then?

Economics, save $ by buying a (new) run out model.

Pride and desire, $ don't matter, wait for the new model.

I think you would become pissed off with the suspension on the standard 675 triple IMHO.

Given the options on your poll I voted to wait for the up speced model, but in the real world I voted with my money and brought its big brother

is the new one going to be more expensive? or are they going to run out the old one at a discount and set the new one at the same price?

1050 has the single swinger which just rocks

the current model is alot of fun!

Ha! Don't ride one or it'll become a moot point.

I probably should've waited for the tarty one. But didn't. Oh well. The stock suspension seems pretty good to me, BTW.

Oh, and it's a fair chunk more power. The Daytona is 123hp, the Striple 107 according to this little book (that happens to be the owners manual). Of course, that'll be at the top of the rev range. The Striple drinks 91 too.

some information i came across

Things just got better for fans of Triumph’s Street Triple – the company has just announced a higher-spec R version for 2009. On the list of goodies are fully-adjustable 41mm USD forks, fully adjustable monoshock, and 308mm front disc brakes (Nissin) with radial-mount four-piston calipers.

The Street Triple R’s 675cc three-cylinder engine remains the same, producing 106 horsepower at 11700rpm. The bike gets new tapered aluminium handlebars from Magura, that are wider than before. According to Triumph, this, combined with a 5mm taller seat height makes for a better riding position.

The 2009 Street Triple R will be available in two colour schemes – matt graphite with orange graphics, and matt orange with grey graphics. Adding to the style quotient are black-anodised forks and two-tone black-and-graphite seats. The bike’s price and availability are yet to be announced.

Go ride one. They're hilarious. The R will be more expensive and both models will coexist.
If you cant live with the suspension, then wait for the R.

The suspension isn't bad, it's what you'd expect from a bike that's built to be a notch back. You need to go try one. The engine almost sells the whole thing.
