looks Meeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaan.

Tis and is 'kin fast too. arms out of sockets type acceleration!

 

[IvanTate]

Can't see anything stupid about that!!

Ace bike, my neighbour has one but I havent got a go on it yet.

Definately one on the list of next bikes I would like to own.

A dealer can re-mapp the engine, FOC regularly for what ever you want to do with it !!

Just been doing some work with Triumph at the factory, what a fantastic place, very neat operation and I was very impressed with the place. I'm even more impressed with the products at the moment especially the new 675 Daytona, wonderful bit of kit and if I had the money and space, there would be one in the garage.

I've seen some good future stuff coming and the Speed Triple is a hoot to ride, you may spend most of it on the back wheel tho :lol: !

Enjoy the beastie!

when i was taking a demo earlier yesterday i blipped the throttle and the front wheel just lifted up all by itself! I'm gonna have some fun with this I think.

great looking bike, i want one!

My dad wont let me have a bike (even though im 21) cos he thinks i'll ride it the same as my motoX bike when I raced them
Nice bike though pal, ive been looking into doing the direct access course and getting a 600cc bike such as a CBR600 or Kwak ZX6R.

Be careful though, car drivers dont seem to be able to see bike riders coming most of the time.

My last bike was a cbr600fy. Great bike but expensive to drop with all that plastic. Had an indicated 175mph a couple of times too!

 

[mattyfab]

Blimey, didnt realise they went THAT fast.

 

[pete247]

Blimey, didnt realise they went THAT fast.

They dont as standard! Had a race pipe fitted.

Also bike speedos are not very acurate, but it is still a buzz having it indicated.

Very nice bike Pete enjoy

My 600CBR FX has been dyno'd at 111.4 bhp which is very good.

I wont see 175 even on a track, but a very good bike.

But that power is very high in the rev's

What would it be like to have that at say 5000 rpm, like a CBR 1100 Balckbird!!

As I have said the speedo is inacurate so probably no where near 175 in real speed. However the "FY" has longer gearing than the sport so is capable of going faster at the expense of acceleration. Don't know bout the "FX".

I realise peeps do tend to exagerate top speeds at times but "Safeguard" (any matelot will know what that means) 175mph WAS indicated and the world each side of me looked like warp speed in Star-Trec!

As in make it go quicker or have more torque? Cool. I'll wait till it is run in first I think!

I'm so excited at the moment, hope it doesn't rain tommorow morning when I pick it up.

[Gas-Axe]

Good stuff Pete - bet you're looking foward to it! :beerchug

it did but i'm coping quite well with the hardship of breathing fresh air, looking at the sunshine, eating fresh food, drinking more than 3 cans of beer a night, sleeping in a big bed, sleeping in my own room, having internet etc.... Oh how tough it is for you surface dwellers, I don't know how you all cope! lol :lol: :lol:
