My bike-curiousity finally got the best of me

Sweet! I have a friend with a ducati and one with a Honda.
I keep thinking about one too, but I don't think I'd use it enough

I like the color!

 

Awesome color! You don't see many triumphs around these days. Be safe out there. I would've gotten a bike 2 years ago but realized I would kill myself too quickly.

 

I've had 2 1k rr bikes. Bikes are a blast. Always wear your gear and use common sense. Prob the most important thing you can do is try and ride in a group or with a friend. I sold mine because I lost 2 people in my life from bike accidents.

best advice I can give is don't try to keep up with your more experienced/stupid friends when your in a group and don't try to show off either, but that will be hard. Also as your riding be REALLY paranoid and imagine what the absolute stupidest thing that could possibly happen right there in front of you and what you might need to do to avoid it. I can't tell you how many times I saw someone pull up at their red light, look me directly in the eye(so I thought) and then pull out right in front of me. I am not sure if they really didn't see me(with my brights on all the time) or just expect me to go/brake around them. I miss it like hell and love the look of yours but I will never get another just because there are too many people on the road that don't care about you and there is just no protection.

 

Damn, jelly.

 

Good lord that is my dream bike. I look them up all the time on CLs to see if there are any good deals on them. I love that color! I wouldnt mind taking that bike off your hands haha!

 

Beautiful bike man. I had a hard time deciding between that exact bike and my Z1000 I had when I was at the dealer and they were sitting side by side. That color is absolutely stunning in person. Only reason I went with the Z over the Triumph is the Z felt a little more comfortable under my fatass. But I def want a 675 eventually, the level of detail on them just makes them stand out a lot.

Be safe out there!

 

Cool bike man! I'm not really into sport bikes but I like that color. My dad rides a Harley and for a long time I wanted to get one so we could ride together. The best advice I've ever heard from him was ride like you're invisible...not invincible...kinda sounds dumb at first but if you think about it it's true.

 

Looks awesome dude! I rode one of those (a friend and I repaired it for a customer) and was thoroughly impressed.

I don't need to "Dad" you since everyone else has already done so ;p

But seriously, the only reason I don't have a bike is for my distrust of everyone else on the road. I love to ride though =/

 

yea i'm not gonna "dad" you either lolol. just say that is a sexy ass bike!!! looks custom built just because of the color scheme. bikes would be fun to shoot. i wanna see a shoot with your bike and cobra together <--------hotness!!

 

Holy stock batman! Good job finding it stock! Reminds me of when I picked up my red one back 2007. My suggestions for tasteful mods: Double bubble windscreen, frame sliders where you don't cut the plastic, levers and a Jardine can. I loved mine for 6 years.

 

Awesome dude I had a 675 Daytona as well the black and version . I loved it loads of Torque

 

Beautiful bike! Coming from someone who's been hit by a car before, please stay 100% aware at all times.

Treat every driver as if they don't see you, there are a lot of idiotic drivers out there that won't see a bike until it's too late.

 

GSG no cut sliders and pazzo levers. Easy peasy install. One more thing, because these bikes are so skinny, it felt like a mountain bike suey my 04 r6, that tank grip pads are amazing.

 

In the 4-5 months of owning my bike I've already ate shit once, but it was pretty minimal.


Turned onto a dirt road like it was nothin', forgetting that my DRZ didn't have knobbies and immediately took a dirt nap at 20-30 mph. Aside from that nothing has happened. Just some nice scars and a huge bruise from the spill.

Lesson learned.
