Default New Family Addition!! (56k maybe..)

Well I did it, I finally convinced the brother to sell the SV650s and upgrade [sm=badbadbad.gif]. He sold the SV about 2 weeks ago and started giving me the run around on how money was tight, he didn't want something "that" dangerous..etc

He set me up good. Today, with noo warning he calls me over to "work" on his car with him. Takes me down to his work area in his house and reveals this [sm=jawdrop.gif]. Anyone know anything about them in detail? From its exterior the thing looks like it was born in a track sable. (Lap Timer, Steel Braided Lines, Super Corsas stock)

Yeah, that's an awesome little bike there. 3 cyl, sounds like a hoover vacuum. Really light, incredibly skinny-and aftermarket parts are expensive as hell! lol

A buddy of mine has a red one, and he loves it to death. If it weren't for the size of that front windscreen, i prolly would have bought one. Triumph has come a long way and is doin really well the past few years.

for a middle weight sportbike, those things rock. I love the looks of em and the performance is supposedto be great. I've never ridden one, but if I had the chance, I would..

Let us know how you like it when he lets ya ride it.

I know two people who have made the switch to the 675....Very nice bikes....light...plenty of usable power on the street.....very very narrow.......and a surprisingly comfortable ride.

FIRST RIDE THOUGHTs after a conservative ride:

Thisthing is a blast to ride!! Great useable power on the street and the front suspension is a dream along with a smooth throttle response.Narrowframe with a pretty agressive seating position makesthe bike just falls into the corners. Surprisingly pretty comfortable even on the highway.Comparable front braking power as the RR. The stock exhaust/engine noise is pleasant on the ears. Thegear indicator isnicefor eliminating those 7th gear shifts [8D]. And WOW is all i have to say about Super Corsas.....
