WHITE. White, white, WHITE. I know it's not an option.

GIVEN THE THREE, I'd pick the blue, hands down. It's the least obtrusive.

Saw this today


Same thing. Laughed every time I saw it on the net. Dude made it look really good... Maybe when I'm 76

Sorry Babes, but I'd catch you on my two banger ... the Triumphs are for peeps with lots of time to work on electrical/mechanical issues. Not being a dink ... I have owned Triumph's products and God help us with the posi ground Lord Lucas bullspit electrical system and the odd a$$ carbs ...

Gregg, are they really that bad .. I thought all that was history now and modern triumphs were reliable, especially bikes like the 675 Daytona??

Truth is I ain't 100% sure ... have not played with any of the newer Triumph stuff. The Daytonas are awesome looking, I will admit. But the speed triple seems to be a bickle fitch according to some suckers I know who bought into the "modern" Triumph pipe dream
