New addition to our family (orange!...)

[Kazza]

Yes, my husband is spoilt.

Here's his new baby. The first bike that's not a Yamaha for quite a while.

He still has the XJR1300.

He thinks the Triumph looks better than my FZ6.

What do you think?



TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE 1050

Congrats! I was oh-so-close to the green one and then went the way of the FZ. As you get to know her a little, let us know how she compares!:thumbup:

He hasn't put me on the insurance policy!!!

I am sure I will change that. I'll just have to work on him and promise I won't hurt her......

Nice looking ride , tell him i said the XJR is better but i might be a little biased

I will tell him. He's keeping the XJR for commuting to work but for fun, it's the Triumpy!!

A friend of mine destroyed one of those into a guardrail a few weeks ago. It's a great looking bike but I thought it was kinda small in person.

Congrats on the new family member

Nice ride but tell him it's FZ6 FTW! I love your naked look!

Hot, I love it.. Im becoming a big fan of Triumphs after discovering the Rocket III with its huge 2400cc engine :jawdrop: My first car (an altima) had the same size engine!

I've posted pictures of my FZ6 in a separate thread today - showing of my Scorpion Carbon Fiber Slip Ons.

Have a look and tell me if you like them?

Thread under FZ6 Mods.

Thanks,

Great looking bike. I bet that is one killer motor.

Did you misspell addiction?

It sounds great, but needs some new cans. He's already putting a shopping list together:

Orange belly pan, carbon hugger, orange fly screen, sc project carbon cans, etc, etc

I'll have to get a new list for my FZ6, valtermoto rearset, carbon hugger, rizoma bar end mirrors - the list is endles......

Yamaha all the way. Triumph left a bitter taste in my mouth... though congrats to him and hope he has no problems

What Triumph did you have and what problems?

He used to have a Daytona 675 '06. Had no probs with that one.

98 and 04 thunderbird sport. Leaking forks, leaking cylinder, ate speedo cables, leaking brake lines and triumph parts took months to arrive. I do love their bikes but reliable is not a word I'd use to desribe them.

Oh, not good news.

Hopefully our luck will be better!

 

[reiobard]

well, that is certanily a great looking bike and an amazing ride at that, but personally, I think it is too big, but to each their own.

Great looking bike. The arrow exhaust systems are very cool on those.:rockon:

 

[Kazza]

Thanks. The arrows do look good, but unfortunately EVERYONE has them. He wants to get something a little different.
