It's nice to see Triumph bringing out yet more bikes to just compete with themselves.

[Rogerborg]

If they did a special edition with round headlights, they'd probably outsell themselves 2:1.

£7999 for the gold one, that's £500 for a paint job. Not as overly inflated as I thought it would be.

Wouldnt swap any of them for my late round light grey STR to be honest

[RhynoCZ]

What's special about them? Is it just the paint job or am I missing something?

[stevo as b4]

They look nice, but gold flatters many bikes, remember the mk1 Fazer S with the gold paint job, even that looked sexy in a way.

If Triumph want to seriously make the STR cult grow and the bike more revered as a classic sooner, they should sell a few high spec tuned special edition versions, and then end production while they are still selling like warm buns.

It would make interest and demand grow, and give it even more reputation. Im not so sure how good it would be for business though, but then I've never ran a company which might be a good thing?

[Polarbear]

I think I might buy one, crate it up in a vacuum bag and keep it for my Grandsons 21st birthday present. (if I'm still alive )

Decat Arrow system.
Lighter wheels aluminium tank with extra 2 litres.
The dash 2 analog looking clocks calibrated.
2 round headlights both dip and main beams and almost illegally bright.
Tailtidy as standard.
Gilles, Brembo and Ohlins the fuck out of it.

C'mon Triumph be a bit more kawasaki of old.

I already found the list of goodies. And I still think it's lame what Triumph did. I agree with Mr. Terror to a certain degree. They could have made a version of the motorcycle, that would be unique, rather than the paint job an some bits you may fit yourself, frankly.

It could be a bit better tuned, or even a higher displacement engine, from 675cc to 750cc, for instance, or just some fancier materials to get more rpm and power out of it, all that just to make it real special. Having only 150 motorcycles, the price could be even around £10k and people would still buy them like crazy. That would make a future classic, imho.

Does it annoy anyone else that the Red version has gold front calipers and the Gold version doesn't, it has black calipers.

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

^^^Steve mentioned it.

I completely agree with HT and RynoCZ, something more than cosmetics would be a proper limited edition, but as Wafer Thin Ham said, money innit.
That said, Suzuki shove a yoshi on, KTM the Akra's. Maybe Triumph could have upped the price a bit more and got the Arrow on there.


Maybe this also screams the end of the 675. Shove some lipstick on it and send the old girl out to turn a few more tricks before the new bike arrives.

Reminds me of Minis a bit. Lots of money for a paintjob and a few cheapish add ons. They should be fully loaded at least.
All the billet reservoirs, bar end mirrors, arrow pipes, quickshifters, LED indicators and all the other dear stuff too.
I'll wait for a used one to come up in a year or two. But its got to be the TripleR.

jesus bollocks

it's their favourite trick to get rid of the poorest selling colours they have in stock

all the daytona 675 dark's started off scorched yellow, nobody bought them, not even dealers, so they shipped them off to 8-ball to be refinished

the lettering on the one I saw looked like DORK instead of Dark
