How bout the new Triumph Sprint?

The other models haven't decided yet.. But the Daytona 675 is fantastic!

Hehe.. don't say so fast.. temptation works wonders.. hehe...

[Throttle]

well lets hope you will have some good sales so that the triumph community here gets bigger.

 

I'll be going to the tokyo motorshow in 2 weeks time. Triumph Japan is also one of the exhibitors. hopefully can get some goodies there.

I think the Sprint is a great sport tourer.

 

Only thing is the singleside swingarm. More form than functional.

The Speed triple is probably the best bike from Triumph IMHO......

I second Maxbg on that. The speedtriple is indeed one sexy bike.

[nevertheless it is a 900cc and it's quite heavy still QUOTE]

 

I read out that some riders are dropping this bike because of top heaviness. It seems like the tall saddle and porkiness does not go so well with some folks. Just some heads up, as asian dont have the build of ang moh but I wonder how the experience is on this regard.

dropping bike??

no lah, it's heavy only in comparision but not that heavy.

it's only about 210kg i think...

 

anyone who's ridden various class 2 cruisers and bikes wont find it difficult to handle at all.

 

i'm only 170cm and 79kg anyway

[wascal]

I drive W650

 

3 years now I don't want to change

 

Every day it' s real pleasure to drive with it

 

If you want to change look of it it's really simple cafe racer scrambler etc

 

or change it in a old style motobike

yeah man, too much rich food, too much stress and too little hard physical work......

[Throttle]

anyone else riding a triumph classic, roadster, cruiser?

 

bonneville? thruxton? Speedmaster? Tiger?

[skeujin]

nice pics bro. like the luks of the triumphs bt cnt understand y cnt they go the way of tubeless spoked rims...

[Throttle]

i guess to maintain the classic looks it has to be spoked rims.

[Blackie21]

i have a 96 tiger

[Throttle]

not only ZX9. even triumph thunderbird uses japanese parts.

 

i'm using Super4 Radiator Fan, heh heh heh....

The old Triumph Scrambler was featured....

[carl13]

[Throttle]

oooohhh...nice....

legend looks very much like the thunderbird except the seat and exhaust and fork rake. can we start a triumph retro classics streetbike "club" soon?

i think its was maroon or red.. can't rememeber..

was told by micheal that the engine is the same as thunderbird..

but the cosmetic wise i find it a bit different from the thunderbird..

the one i saw does not have much of the vintage feel

the thunderbird looks much better
