Street triple R's are awesome, plenty of poke from the 675 triple and a chassis to match! I've just given up my bike for a while now to fund the Jimny (a much safer prospect in theory) but will probably get a new one in a couple of years.

And it'll probably be a speed triple (more comfy)

I'm not bothered about going back up to 1000+cc anymore.
It'll just be a fine day toy.

Ah, OK. I'll have to take mine in for a service sometime and see if I can score one as a customer service bike. last time I got the Sprint 1050ST, loads of torque but an annoying finger numbing vibe through the bars.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

Not got very far as the funds are/have dried up.
Waiting to get back to work, it's taken a little longer than I expected.

Nearly bought a Cowasaki, yesterday, what do you think?

Street Triple R's are amazing bikes. Generally considered as the class leader for middle weight naked / street bikes. A lot of folk rate the Street Triple R as the more fun bike between it and the bigger engined Speed Triples in recent years. Not that the Speed is bad, mind.

I'd love a Street Triple R, hope you manage to find the funds. :D

Thanks for that, hopefully back to my job in the not too far off future.
Once it's not obvious that I have 'dead foot'. :)

Yep, really, really fancy the 675cc triple, read some more and it does seem to come out with some high scores.

K :)

16/08/2010 @ 13:20 I was sitting on my Vespa PX 200 (yes I'm a mod but had a Fazer 600 as my first bike!) waiting to pull out onto a major roundabout.

There was a Blue Ford Focus coming past on the roundabout and it was clear for me to enter the roundabout after that.

I entered it alright!!! Having been shunted there by a Golf travelling at 20mph who also saw the gap after the Focus, but not me!!!

My bike was bent in half and I managed to stay on it till it slowed and then step off it and lay it down gently in the hope no damage was being done.

I then looked over my shoulder at the 40T truck braking hard not to hit me. It didn't, hence I'm typing this!

I've bought a little run around Micra for getting to work and parking on the street where it's hard to park and managed to pay for it and insure and tax it with the insurance money from the Vespa.

I'll not go back now.

A friend of mine lost the use of an arm in a bike accident too.

I get my adrenaline off road at next to no speed now!!!
