A couple of piccys of the new bike, (although I've already done over 2000 miles on it since I've had it :lol: ).

 

 

 

 

Goes like the proverbial off a shovel and wheelies just as well as the old one :/

 

High numbers on the speedo t'other night on t' M25 and it was rock solid :good:

Hi Martin

 

I have had my 350lc for about 23 years and is still mint it only comes out when i am feeling brave as it still scares the **** out of me!! if its not trying to throw me of the back as the front wheel is pointing skyward, Its the back wheel is trying to over take the front :good:

 

As for the Triumph never ridden one, Do sound rather pleasant!!

I worked on the 675 triumph in the British Superbike series. The team I worked for this year is the nearest thing to works backed. The standard engine is a belter, but handling is not quite up to the jap bikes(on a race track). Its all about the centre of gravity and the wheelbase,(without going into boring detail).

The average road rider will probably never get it to this limit ,so it may be irrelevant. I do know that they sell like hot cakes in the US and Japan.

so far i have only heard of two bikes here in edmonton, one purchased, the other in the showroom, the price around $10,000, of cource that may fall now with the buck being so strong, still strung out about what to get next year, a Triumph triple to embed myself into or through a wall, or a new Harley, slow enough to watch other Triumphs plows through above wall, you still cant beat crusing.

If i decided to slow down a bit then I would opt for the Triumph Speedmaster.....almost got one instead of the 675 but decided I wasn't ready to slow down quite yet......

 

TLE. Martin.....$10,000 we have to pay about £7,200+ for one here, might be cheeper now they have been around for about 18months (if you can get deal in the UK).

 

Whatever you get have fun and enjoy......Carl

:welcomeani: I once scraped my right foot down the side of a double decker bus while doing a way too fast left hander on a elsie.

 

Best bike for brain removed fun that I have ever had :welcomeani: and the 'porkus mobilus' in those days had no chance of catching you on the firms bike :friends:

 

Nice wheels Pedro be safe mate :friends:

Drool, I just loved the HRC rep, its the best paint job Honda have came up with in ages. As far as I know next years Blade (RR9) will be available in both HRC and Repsol reps though it'll still be ugly! :good:

 

I've an RR5 Blade in black/black.

RD350LC's were good, had one till i found an old RD200 air cooled in someones shed - one bottle of whisky (purchase price) & some TLC given, it left GPZ Turbos for dead on country roads :good: 350LC sold :good: later found out it was last used on the track :good: :good: :lol: B) Wish i still had it (& the danglies to use it like i used to :good: )

PS, if the person that bought it is reading this (i could do with the screw that i removed all those years ago - it might be under the seat :good: )
