Well I had it all thought out:

1/ Do a couple of years out here, earning great money, yet spending bugger all:thumb:

2/ Get home with a nice little bundle saved away ready to be spent on a toy:D

3/ Go to local dealer, buy a 675 Daytona, preferably in Yellow:norty:



Then Triumph go and throw a spanner in the works by launching this:

and now I'm all confused:(

Do I still get the Daytona:cool: or do I admit that I'm really too old/slow/fat* for all that crotch rocket bollox, buy one of the coolest nakeds arounds, and save a couple of grand into the bargain


*Delete where appropriate;)

looks like it was built on a friday afternoon and they just stuck all the bits on it :Whatever_ :Whatever_ :rolleyes: :eek:

Supposed to be an ace bike! Had a naked FZ6 before though have to admit I just prefer to have the fairing now!!!

one of the coolest nakeds arounds

go and test ride the thing then make your choice easy as abc :p

I think this is my next bike after the monster :thumb:

Looks great imho and be nice to buy british.

the new kwak 750 machine is the 1 to get. its naked but it looks so cool... have a look first before you jump into anything..

could be a giant killer that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do like the Kwak, but the decision about my next bike being a Triumph 675 is already taken, as it's the engine that's doing the selling:cool:

At the moment the choice is merely between the two:wonder:



PS: For anyone who feels like regaling me with horror stories about Triples and oil consumption, I already own a 1978 SOHC4 Honda, and a 1986 XR4x4 with 250k miles on it, so I know all about regular level checks;)

Go for it mate - I think it rocks!

I've yet to hear anyone diss that Triumph triple mill although there still seems to be reservations about build quality and use of 'pig iron' in fairly visible places.

Can you get smaller headlights for it...it looks like it's just found out that it's pulled a shemale! :eek:

Shamelessly plagiarised from a posting on another site by a much sharper chap than me:

"as soon as the word cool is applied to anything, any potential it has to be cool disappears immediately.
Anything designed to be cool isn't. Anything marketed to be cool isn't. Anything which tries to be cool isn't. Anything bought because it's cool isn't."

I think an old Indian Scout is about as cool as it gets.......... but the minute I bought one it would be uncool :( :D. Oh well..............

:lol1: @ Simon

I think my general coolness credentials are summed up in my previous post;)


Personally I'd say a Brough Superior edges the Indian:cool:
