[Group] TRIUMPH Speed Triple Riders

[no_reservations]

Hi

 

Finally this thread is alive again, Keep it going guys.

 

Two weekends ago when on a Mersing lunch trip with the Ducati Group. Mainly 1098 and some monsters. Hope to ride with the Triumph Group if can find enough RATS.

You can put some small tools there but not big enough for rain coat or bike cover.

 

Yeah back pack ... tell me about it ... I've been doing it for the past 1 year ... it's such a pain (literally). But used to it already. It beats putting a rear box on the bike!!!

 

Yea totally. how about the magnetic bag that sticks to the tank? any good?

[QuaXum]

i saw an orange tiger with a zard exhaust at MAH today, is that the bike u traded in CMYRS?

 

A gd friend of mine just managed to find a 2nd hand speed triple .. gosh it looks and sounds sooo fearsome with the 3 into 1 arrow low boy !!

 

im thinking of getting the Zard 3 into 1 cause its a lil cheaper then the arrow, looks pretty solid too plus its erm. officially street legal i think .

 

still gots 87 days to go though +_+

 

my gawd, where did he find the 2nd hand striple? i'm also looking for one if possible after i get my cl2

I guess it depends on how much stuff you need to carry around. Just take care not to scratch the tank's pant job. Take note that you need to take it off when re-filling.

Don't be mixed up between SPEED and STREET Triple ..

Yah I guess ... such a bike is hard to let go ... my heart melts whenever I admire the bike. And the thought of letting it go will soon be gone

[QuaXum]

Hope to get someone selling it when i get my cl2 next feb ^^

[Shinsgbikes]

EEEeepp! .. i only mentioned just mentioned legal as the last part of the attraction to the zard 3 into 1 , didnt meant to get on any ones nerves +_+

 

anyway i seriously have a thing for the 3 into 1s ^_^ the exhaust being legal is just the icing on the cake

 

hopefully Come next January i can meet up with u guys and let our 3 cylinder machines roar!

 

 

Shin,

 

 

Frankly speaking, I don't really bother about worrying. Been riding my Monster (with exhausts MUCH louder) for 3 years with no problems with authorities. My Arrows are at the legal sound limit with certificate from Arrow and EU (just that they got no LTA cert YET). So they do not sound illegal to attract attention at the very least. And you think ROV/TP officers all have street legal exhausts on their private bikes when off-duty? You'll be surprised .. They are also bikers (humans) after all ....

 

I just ride as per normal, not like a thief .. anyway I was already aware of the consequences when I installed them. Just make sure there is spare $$ in the bank Want to be good citizen and be 100% law abiding? By all means. But don't tell me you don't even litter or jay walk occasionally? And you do not have to look for ROV. They will be looking out for you instead. So can save the trouble and concentrate on the road ahead instead.

 

BTW, you got to check whether 3-1 are aprroved. It might be a full-system instead of just slip-ons.

[Shinsgbikes]

oh yah thanks for reminder. ahah i am looking for street triple . 2nd hand ones are hard to come by eh?

 

 

seriously the bikes are rare in the 1st place, and unlike ducati hypermotards (so many sold 2nd hand already!) the Striple is suuuuch a darlin to live with ,i doubt many riders are gonna part with theirs anytime soon +_+

 

my friend got the SPEEDY striple which is awesome in its own bad ass British bulldog bar fighting single sided swing arm kinda way

 

Initially he saw one 2nd hand at Minerva of all places .. but another buyer beat him to it .So he kept a look out and tada he found another one at Mah

 

So just keep an eye out and check with mah every once in a while and other shops too .cause u Never know when a 2nd hand striple might pop up!

[Shinsgbikes]

oh yeah Everyone on this forum has GOT to watch this .. laughed till water came outta my eyes

Owner of the Speed triple must have felt lonely riding alone. i wonder how much was minerva selling it?

The only thing i like about Ducati is the dry clutch and of course the power.

My friend might be selling his 08 Matt black Speed triple with full system.

Will update you guys if he is really selling.

Ducatis are almost everyones dream bike .. be it a 1198/1098 or monster

i have a soft (or hard ) spot for the monster 1100 myself.

its like riding a 2 wheeled Ferrari

 

Minerva sold the speed for 17.5k (apparently the ex owner traded it in for the ducati street fighter)..pretty gd deal.. my pal was initially heart broken till he found another 2nd hand speed at mah .

 

Anyway man if your friend is really selling a matt black 08 speed i'll be daaaaamn tempted to jump on it and cancel the street triple ( maybe i can give QuaXum the contact for the striple seller ^_^)

Edited October 20, 2009 by Shin@sgbikes

[no_reservations]

Sold at 17.5k is a damn good deal provided it is 08 model. i dun think my friend will let go at such prices.

[Shinsgbikes]

it was a an 07 model with bout 16000 km on the odo if i remember correctly.

 

had a few accessories though ,like carbon fiber fly screen.

 

I believe an 08 model would go for around 21k or so

[QuaXum]

still quite sometime before i get my cl2 so i'll probably pop by mah once in a while to check if theres a street triple for sale anot.

Why don't you ask Eugene to call you instead? Then no need to keep popping

 

Anyway I know it's just an excuse .. you just wanna go there to look at those bug eyes every few days right?

[freerangestormer]

I will be away for most of the next week. Hope to meet up with you and Blackie21 on the week of the 26th Oct. Dinner at east coast? Will contact you guys when I get back from my trip

 

I think picking Blackie21's brain would be a better idea coz I just follow his advice and buy the recommended parts!

 

Wow, busy here lately, bikes changing, bags and boxes flying around, must look in more often.

 

Jagan / Blackie, I am going up to the MotoGP with a couple of friends (driving) so 26th week is good for me, I'd really like to get together soon, missing that triple sound

[Blackie21]

i will be out for this years motogp again...its been 5 years since i last made a trip there.

lets try to meet up on the evening of the 28th, next wed.

i have not heard a triple for a long time now.

since u got the price, did u find out y the owner traded the speed for the streetfighter?

 

the streetfighter a better naked?

nope but id guess cause its alot lighter and more powerful and .. very very red? ^_^

 

beyond the specs thou.i always figured most riders hope/plan to purchase at least one the of the bikes ducati produce.

 

The ,167kg dry weight and 150+ horses street fighter is gorgeous

i doubt its as friendly to ride daily as a speed triple thou

hmmmm.....no wonder I dont see ppl trading in their monster/street fighters for triples at Mah.......

[motomuppet]

hey guys

 

I recently sold my 06 speedy and bought a left over 07 Tuono from Mah. Speedy was waaay more street friendly, but the Tuono is a blast once it gets going. Bit of a bear around town...but I have a plan for that;)

 

Anyway, just wanted to let people know that I have a Ohlins shock from my speedy for sale. Has less than 3k km on it as I did not get to ride as much as I planned ( never do really) selling for $700ono

 

Also have Triumph tank bag and bra for same bike (the big one, 20-30l I think) like new selling $250ono if anyone is interested, gimme a call.

 

Cheers

if u hear the Lamborghini like exhaust sound coming from the not so legal arrow 3 into 1 , then tats him

 

Ups for the weekend! and another 3 more months + before u can get yur cls 2!
