Triumph Classics

[desewer]

Speed Four is an inline-4 600cc sports bike, if I'm correct. Mine is the 2nd-generation Speed Triple.

 

1st Gen,

2nd Gen, '97-'98: fuel-injected 885cc model T509 (my bike)

3rd Gen, '99-'01: fuel-injected 955cc, T509 frame & fairings

4th Gen, '02-'04: fuel-injected 955cc, new fairing designs

5th Gen, '05-present: fuel-injected 1050cc

 

And yes, I take my bike to Mah's to get Kenny to service it.

i rather not go to Mah Motors for my Triumph

[swirlacer]

er...ani reason why? bad experiences?

[Throttle]

they are not ernest enough , in my opinion, this results in slipshod work....sigh...if only Singapore is like Japan standard.

 

In Japan, bus driver, bellhop, road sweeper, hawker... all got pride in doing their jobs, man....

[Throttle]

anyway, my bike left with Unity for dyno tuning, hopefully turn out solid. should be ready this weekend, damn busy, but will try to collect it.

Hi Throttle,

Streetfighter is back .. R2R

 

Welcome Back dude

[swirlacer]

so hows the dyno results? post up post up!!!

[Throttle]

not yet. They taking very long, more than 2 weeks already. Triple cylinder no easy and Carb not like EFI.

 

first time dynoed , I think got 68bhp, cant recall such minute details already.

 

Actually, for me at this stage, I dont care about power. I would gladly compensate power for smoothness and ridebility anytime.

 

Hopefully can get it this Sat...

[swirlacer]

so hows? got it yet? why dyno shop take so long also?i dun see that happening in the usa leiz...most of them get it on the day itself...sg one take 2 freaking wks?hmm...

[Throttle]

I told them to take their time.

Anyway, the bike is out today. Just took it for a ride.

Need to to order Dynojet kit stage one about $300.

But I'm now thinking of selling my Thunderbird for a Kawasaki Z1000.

 

As it is right now, i clock only 10,000 to 12,000 km a year on my car.....whoever buys my car is a lucky guy.

 

My Thunderbird i only clock 300km a year, hahahahahahahah........any serious takers, can drop me a line. cheers

[kmax]

saw triumph classic bikes at Big Bikes show.. quite impressive..

bonnevile is the model i guess.. nice classic bike

anyway.. Throttle.. coming to ORQ ?

i am working there and quite limited parking space. a frnd told me to park at near by buildings "hong leong finance" as they are cheaper.

u can try market street multistory parking too

[Throttle]

thanks Kmax...

anyway there is no more season parking space for cars, all taken up.

all other nearby buildings got a waiting list of more than 100.

Don't understand ... Why lucky guy? I thought that kind of mileage is very normal for Sillypore cars. Anyway, its great that you got a luxury car as well as a nice rare bike.

[Phang]

My car clocked 40,000km a year consistently, It is normal or high for a Singapore car?

You thought wrong, dude

Average mileage clocked by cars in Singapore per yr is 20,000 to 25,000km

Most people would classify a car that clocks 20,000km per yr as low mileage.

If you check around, 3 yr old cars on sale would mostly be 60,000km or more.

 

A low percentage of cars clock under 15,000km per yr.

 

I clock about 12,000km per yr so it is by Singapore standards much much lower than average.

 

I'm sure many drivers here can attest .

It's high Phang.

but i know it's becos you live quite far off the city so you may have to travel further than most.

 

cheers bro
