well, after much self-debate, I pulled the trigger on an 09 Triumph Street Triple R. I bought it from work, so needless to say I got a good deal. I love everything about this bike, and the sound.....oh lord, the sound....

btw you guys in the 675R thread talking about being too big....Im 6'2", 275lbs...obviously the suspension will need some tweaking, but I fit on the bike just fine.

Let me be the first to congratulate you!

Congratulations!

She was running from the CIA. She didn't have time to go pick one up from the local stealership.

Yeah, because there is a BIG CIA presence in Albany, NY. LOL.

And lots of Triumph dealers too. One on every corner.

Hey Dezzzzmo,

Congrads., :clapper
FWIW., I Love my Speed Triple!...Let me ask you though... What makes this model You have here, the "R" model?

And YES... The Triple's Engine's exhaust note IS One of the BEST in ALL of motorcycling! :twocents

What makes this model You have here, the "R" model?

Daytona Spec suspension (albeit with revised spring rates) and brakes

I very nearly bought one of those.

The local dealer just wanted more than I was willing to part with.

Oh, but what a fabulous little bike - I'm not sure if any other bike in the world fit me so well. The bike I bought was *almost* as good, but thousands less.

I still think about Street Triple Rs... in orange. Yowza.

coming form this crowd, that's quite a compliment

 

[Busy Little Shop]

Even though its an inline... Triumph Triples have that dorner sound going for them...

Congrats on the purchase!
The exhaust note is one of the best period, my 955i with mig exhaust was Amazing!
My current 675 with jardine is almost as nice, just needs to be tightened up as i am pretty sure all the cans are the same between bikes from them.

As for fit, there is not a more comfortable race replica out there, than the 675 if your over 6ft tall..well once you put a new seat on it.:twocents

Gratz! We want a full rude report!

 

[duckdawg]

Congrats on the purchase!

Bike looks better without mirrors! Maybe bar end mirrors would look better!
