Triumph seem to be making some really great looking bikes lately. This and the Street Triple.

It is meant to be an excellent bike. A friend has bought the Street Triple R (same 675cc engine) and it is a lovely bike.

That's because it cheats with an extra 75cc!

Good looking bikes, not ridden one though.

You did? Blimey!

We work in an anarcho-syndicalist commune, where we all take it in turn to be executive leader for the week. All decisions of that leader must be ratified by a majority (in the case of internal affairs) or by a 2/3 majority...

Anyway, it's quite remarkable what John Bloor has done to Triumph; highly-regarded bikes. And no oily trousers.

there used to be one parked at work sometimes, sounded nice and looked nice too but i didnt even consider this when i bought the CBR because of their previous rep which is a shame in hindsight. I'm very wary of buying british.

I drove an older TT and the brakes were grabby as hell and the clutch was a dog but that was from a previous generation.

Oily trousers and oil puddles were what distinguished british bikes of that era.
How we laughed at the early Hondas!
