Title: Going to the Triumph Dealer may not have been a good idea
Post by: darb85 on September 26, 2007, 10:45:05 AM
So I went to a Triumph dealer today, and all i can say is that damn, those triples are sexy.  They had a early release Street triple.  That is my next bike, Im nowhere near ready to move up but that street tripple is so freaking awesome!  The Speed is Dead sexy but the street is close, its too bad that the street doesnt have the single swing arm though.  Im gonna have to stay away from there for a while or im going to be the new owner of a street triple.

They had to have one of those on the floor. :mad:

Granted it wasnt for sale yet but still...

well thats it,

Brad

OH FOR THE LOVE OF PETE MAN !

Most phones have cameras now. A good many do video too, with decent audio !

Where are the up close and personal pictures ?

C'mon now. At least tell me they started the thing for you. No, I know they didn't. Cause if they did, you'd be an owner already ;)

Completely right. The triple is dead sexy.

Oh, and had to ruffle you a bit for not getting images  :thumb:

My BIL has a speed master, with a few mods now and it's a beautiful bike.

I prefer the Thruxtons and the street triples, the only thing that stopping me from getting a thruxton ATM is not being able to pay for it.  :laugh:

Cool.

So, does it sound as sweet as the speed triple, or will it need an aftermarket can to sing ?

I completely understand buying, but not financing. Funny how people get the two confused ;)

I like the shocking green metallic that is available. :)

The green looks ok but it just looks mean in all black.  It does sound about as mean as the Speed but not quite.  I got the aftermarket exhaust for it so itll sing anyways, but the stock sound aint bad.  Its for sure my next bike, its just a matter of when.

That triple engine has such a cool sound.  I had to wipe the drool off the bike when I got off the bike.

well technically both are the same. buying is buying, but financing is well buying over a longer period of time, ( and costing a good bit more)
