for a 2006 Scorched Yellow Triumph Daytona 675 today. 

I went down to the local Triumph/BMW Dealer, and looked at their bikes this afternoon.  Unfortunately, there are some people ahead of me on the list, and they only order so many 675's, so it may be as long as 8-10 weeks before I get mine.  I've looked at a ton of different bikes, and this one is definitely the bike for me.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof, is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools....

Thanks to advances in automation, Nike shoes will be made by robots. Unfortunately, the robots will be made by children in Malaysia.

I never understood that...

Why have a list?

If someone is gonna pay everything UPFRONT, why must they still wait that long?

Basically you go in a dealer and say I want a 675 well there are only so many available.  So most dealers are asking for downpayments ( non-refundabel ).  And put you on a list.  When your time comes up then you get your bike.  Doest matter if you have the cash or not because most people that are buying the 675 already have the finacing done or have the cash.

What if you pay up front IN FULL?

Wouldn't you get your bike faster?  Paying in full gaurantees the dealer that you ARE getting one.

Would you put $500 down on a bike not knowing if you would be able to get finaced for it?

Good point.  So putting a non-refundable deposit for a bike they don't have is basically 100% claiming the bike...

I got it. :thumb:

The red does look good, but it's the most common color for the '06 D675.  Graphite is the least common, but I like the Yellow better. 

Also, all my gear is yellow and black anyway  :icon_mrgreen:

my roommates have an '04 R1 and an '06 R6, and I've been riding their old school Seca II.  We go riding all the time, and see tons of other bikes, some of which like to join up with us.. but I have never seen a 675 on the street.

Yama, you've posted that before. Was it yours?

I really REALLY like the Speed Triples and am considering getting one over the Z1000 depending on if they're availible.
