... with a triumph Embarassed

A triumph thruxton to be exact. Don't know if any of you saw the bike there, but it was amazing.

Red paintwork with a white stripe going along it, bar end mirrors, color coded fly screen... sat on it and it was soo comfy. although a little bulky for me.

Anyone else liking the new 'cafe racer' type machines being released lately? Ducati are making some f'cking nice ones too. Shame im only 16, and shame they are around the 9k mark Crying or Very sad

(Looks 10 times better with the paintjob, mirros etc)

I was very interested in the Sprint ST, thats before I went to the NEC and sat on one. Then I nearly creamed myself. Its riding position seemed to fit me like a glove.

Only a few more years before I can afford to insure one though! Crying or Very sad

doesn't look quite so nice in red for some reason. I like the grey with the green frame.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I agree, these bikes seem to appeal to me as well - especially the Triumph Scrambler thingy - pitty it's a few kilos too heavy.

Seen one of the paul smart ducati 1000s at brands earlier this year, looked incredible, such attention to detail. Sounded like i imagine death sounding like, awesome.

Whats the point in buying a clasic bike that isnt actually a classic? If your gonna ride soemthing like that at least build it ground up from a 60year old reck.

Yeh the bikes were awesome. Esp the show and the sexy R1!, not to sure about the older bikes, but the things that did catch my eye more than the 'thruxton' was........ the hot ladies!

I know what you mean about the Thruxton, it just has so much character... The seating position feels 'naughty'.

I would love a cafe racer as a second bike Thumbs Up

The Thruxton is gorgeous - I saw it in the flesh at a local Truimph dealership and fell in love with it instantly. I was in the market at the time for a new bike. It was a toss-up between the TRX or the Thruxton. The TRX won over in the end due to price, but maybe, when I have more money I could buy me a toy.... Thumbs Up

'cept the commando was a prototype and has a T160, or T150? Trumpet Triple in it.

Looked well done though.

Trisolastic does sound very Wallace and Gromet to me though!
