paul Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 don't care for the layout .. but love the 675 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I've been reading about it the last few days, and I think it might have more potential than the Honda CBR600RR that I was originally thinking about. As soon as I saw the 675, I thought I must have it providing it's gonna be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear the last step at Hinckley is the hand drill .. to add the patented triumph oil leak ;) I'm currently drooling over an Aprilia Shiver 750, and MV Augusta Brutale Haven't got the funds probably .. but one is allowed to drool :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I hear the last step at Hinckley is the hand drill .. to add the patented triumph oil leak ;) Well, I've been googling this the last few hours, and found the Triumph 675 forum. Seems there can be quite a lot of issues with them, including the patented oil leak. Sadly, reading that, kind of puts me off getting one, unless I end up being lucky and get a reliable one. Maybe the Honda CBR600RR or Kawazaki ZR6R might actually be better instead - or the Honda, since I already had a Honda before. And yeah, I had an English sports car that leaked oil too because of an *issue* with the engine that needed fixing. In 14 months of owning that particular car, it cost me around 12,000 quid to fix the thing. That's not including the costs of fuel, insurance, type costs. If I included that, we're looking more like 22,000 quid for the 14 months I owned it. Oh, and that it cost 28,000 to buy it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
