After four satisfactory but uninspiring years with my Bandit 650, I've decided to get rid.
On saturday I pick up my new Triumph Street Triple.
I'm really excited about this because they are a hoot to ride and sound fantastic.
Colour is black and I've ordered it with the gel seat, belly pan, screen kit, and the Arrow slip on exhausts for a more grunty noise.
I'll post up a piccy when I get it

Awesome,I have a Daytona 675 and that Triple engine is sweet as a nut, really like the look of the Street Triple too.... might have to bag a test ride at some point from my local friendly Triumph dealer..

Nicely done, Thumbs Up.

Just bought myself a Daytona T595, and they sound the nuts! You wont be disappointed.

Here she is.

Lovely, lovely bike. Engine sweet, lovely noise, clutch light and gearbox smooth and precise. Yes I still love it.

A couple of minor omissions, which I'd never noticed when I first test rode it.

No Hazard warning lights (useful for when filtering). I guess I just use the indicators.

No fuel gauge, just a low fuel light.

In a couple of weeks the optional bits will get fitted on (Arrow slip on cans, front screen and crash protectors)

Shoulda got Graphite Wink

The problem with having hazards on when filtering is that if someone sees only one side they might assume you are indicating for a turn ......... could have bad consequences

No that's the new one. Mine was the 2006 model which was still air cooled and had carbs rather than fuel injection. It was a good bike but it just didn't have any character or soul, whereas the Striple has both.
