[Group] TRIUMPH Speed Triple Riders

haha...a brand new antique.

Hi guys,

 

I'm interested in the Street Triple myself. I was looking at the brochure and it states that Cyclenet Pte Ltd is the agent in Singapore. I also saw the machine price is $16.8K in a local bike magzine (Bikers Inc).

 

how is the review of the bike in that magazine?

[desewer]

Don't read local reviews of these continental bikes. IMO the best reviews out there is in the best bike mag out there; UK BIKE.

[mamat]

yup.the brits give tongue-in-cheek but honest reviews.very passionate bike journos.the st triple is a good bike.$16800? quite ok.was expecting on the hi 18K

[desewer]

I just take the UK price in Pounds Sterling and multiply by 3. If the local selling price is somewhere around that figure, then it's consistent.

[mamat]

dropped by mah motors today and chatted with dylan abt the street 3.the bike will be here around march.the otr price is a sweat inducing $20400.he says black will be the predominant colour.

Oh man .. I am utterly dissapointed in the price and choice of colour. Do you mean they'll only bring in black ones?

 

How come the magazine states $16.8K ... I really hope Cyclenet is not Mah motor, cos Cyclenet's machine price is $16.8K.

 

BTW there was no review in the local magazine. Only the price was stated.

 

Sigh ............

[mamat]

yes dylan says the machine price is $16800.he quoted current coe and insurance for my age group,plus the normal legal stuff like rd tax.say,with a 10% deposit my installments will be $365 pm for 5 fooking long yrs

Oh ok, from $16.8K become $20.4K. That's $3600 for all insurance, COE and road tax. COE is ard $1000, road tax is ard $200 for 1 year. Wow your insurance is so expensive. 1st party? Did I miss out anything?

[desewer]

Maybe he is below 25? And First Party for Triumph isn't cheap either. So the $20k price is inflated due to insurance lah... that means the $16800 machine price is spot on...

Wow insurance is a killer. I'm above 25 and got 15% NCD. Hope it'll help lighten the burden. Anyway it's all too early now. Wait till I get my license in March then I'll look for Dylan

[desewer]

Heh. New Sachs MadAss 125 for sale already. I'm tempted to get it as a second bike.

[Blackie21]

the madass, is one cute little fellow!

 

another potential triumph owner....

the street triple is sweet!

me old liao >31.don't forget GST which is a possible 4 figure sum,IU,registration,number plate.could range between 19-20 ++ thou

[desewer]

My own NCD just went down the drain due to my sister crashing my car into a tree. Damn. Luckily I only need third party insurance come April.

I'm 29. Did Dylan quote you 1st party insurance? Do you have any NCD? I only plan to get 3rd party fire and theft. I didn't even think of the GST (dam). Wow imagine OTR is $20K, I still have to spend close to $1K for the seat cowl, bellypan and flyscreen.

Oh man .. wasted! Is your sister and the tree ok? Heehee. So car and bike NCDs are linked together? I'm sorry is this supposed to be a SPEED Triple only thread? Cos we've been talking about the Street Triple instead.

 

BTW which place do you guys go for servicing Triumphs?

[desewer]

As long as it's a Triple, it's welcome here. No need for separate threads where only 2-3 peeps regularly holding discussions.

 

I service mine at Mah's religiously every 5000km.

 

By the way, I may be letting go of my beauty. If anyone is interested please drop me a PM. Thanks!

I'm still waiting for my turn ...

[Blackie21]

thats a lovely machine!

unfortunately, am trumpetless at the moment....but would like to check out the machine.

[desewer]

Ben... Speedie no more. Lurking around just like you now.

[yohji]

hi desewer,

 

I got my class2 today. Might be going down to Mah this weekend to ask about the Street Triple

 

BTW I wonder if the Ben you are talking to is the Ben that I know? He used to ride a Tiger and Speed Triple?

[desewer]

Yup... same Ben. If you have a bigger budget I know of a 1050cc triple with full Arrow system that's for sale. A year old, and mileage probably less than 2000km.
