Looking for some views of the new Triumph 675. I have been watching these for a few years and they seem to be a great bike that just keeps getting better. Wife thinks it is sexy, so that helps.
Any one rode one yet? Seems to have quite the power advantage and now it seems the suspension and brakes are up to par to really be cometitive.
I love my 2004 CBR and would probaly have the Triumph as a stable mate, but then think I can only ride one bike at a time. What would you do?

 

Hands Down FAVORITE sports bike. Looks great and performs great. went to purchase one but decieded I didnt want payments. Insurance is super cheap. ex Triumph was 147 a month full coverage, w/4 tickets. 08 honda and suzuki was 483. But no help on the choice. Mine came down to not wanting payments.

 

Local dealer sold theirs but I am expecting a call this week when they get their next delivery. Might be better if I do not look as they sure sound nice.

 

Over-all the '08 675 is a great bike. If I had to pick between my '07 RR or the '08/'09 675 it would be a very tough decision. The useable power is very appealing on the Truimph. The seating position is noticeably more aggressive then my '07 RR which helps the 675 fall into corners nicely. The throttle response is just Amazing! You can rock on the throttle in 2nd gear and completely release the throttle and you barely feel the affect on the suspension components. The '07 RR doesn't even compare in that category. The slight downfalls I've found with the '08 Truimph is Maintenance (2k miles) and the Rectifier already went out (dealers few and far between) and there is a small noticeable drop-off in Top-end(but who's going above 120 mph anyways???)
