Traded the blade in on one of these deal was a no brainer and i do like a Triumph. Day didnt start to well rode bike to dealers signing paper work over etc and i had forgot a couple of bits of paperwork so had to go back home and back again fairly quick which the blade is good at lol, was panicing as insurance was going to run out at 11.30am. Well dry roads and a bike to run in the dry roads didnt last so bike to clean this morning 1st impressions the speed is so flickable and it is going to wheelie for fun, only bike i have ridden in the last few years that didnt make my fingers go numb, very comfy, can see loads more ahead when overtaking, no wind blast at running in speed 70mph ish, new tyres i nipped bum up a couple of times metzler racetec K3 not the best in the wet from what i have read? Well going for a breakfast run at 8.30 to get another 100 miles on it can up the revs abit in another 30-50ish miles.
Where's the bloody pics? I quite fancy a triple myself. Was looking for my boyhood dream machine before buying the blade, but £14,000 for a 1977 KH750 triple was outta my league.
I'm hoping the misses pick the street tripple when she passes her test, that way I can have a play on it. Nice bikes
Yep, piccies are needed. Nice to hear comparrisons regarding a commute on the blade and then on the Triple.
LOL cleaned it and just as i was finishing it started to rain so had 2 put it away before the camera came out, i cant say what it will be as a commute bike as i only ride for fun, done 100 miles this morning and uped the revs a touch about 5000rpm much more fun, i was finding it pain full over manhole covers etc was thinking suspension needs sorting a tad but once tyres had cooled down i check tyre pressure and it was 46psi bloody dealers so have dropped to 38psi and will see if that helps lol. I have owned two street triples the last one being the R model ace bike BUT for me a tad to small and i didnt get that feeling of having a bike between your legs unlike the blade or the speed triple this triple handles bril and it flicks left right so much quicker than the blade ever could(upright bars) the brakes are far better than the blades i had also forgot how much easier it is to see over cars and around bends with the grass on the verges etc, i always put cans on a bike but dont think i need to with this triple sounds awesome and thats at 5000rpm will get pics in the week or next weekend.
Sounds like fun. But come on.. YOU ALWAYS NEED AFTERMARKET CANS. My mate has a triple with the arrows on it and it sounds the nuts!
but for the speed triple there so much money if a pair come up on ebay at a cheapish price i would be tempted, i had twin arrows on my strret triple and when on a mad one it made your ears bleed lol
Twin arrows??? You mean low boy!! It's the only way... Ps - enjoy the bike... Love em personally, wouldnt mind one myself!
