Next year man...I can't wait!

Here's the article from MCN

Now they just need to put out a 1050 Daytona and I'll be a happy guy.

Getting back on mine this week. Need inspection and tags before I ride it to my new house in 2 weeks. Want to do some test rides to make sure my leg/knee is strong enough for a 2 hour ride.

Gotta ride for a few months in my Donjoy brace though.

If you ever run out of gas, you can just Fred Flintstone that thing with your bionic leg!

Back on the horse today! Got er inspected, registered, took the long way to the knee doc appt and then decided to make it to work for a few hours and then to PT.

Got at least 25 more to get home.

2 months, 2 days post op ACL and riding!

Cruised from Basalt over McClure Pass to Hotchkiss on Saturday so we could go to Zack's BBQ

Took a couple of pics on the ride home just below the top of McClure.

My "new-to-me" '03 Shadow Spirit 750.

My buddy's '07 BMW F800 with ABS.

And my other buddy's '06? KTM beast, 900 Adventure.

No real good cruising shots, but all in all a very fun ride with some good BBQ mixed in.

Belt drive for sure, but I don't think it has the telelever front end. I haven't ridden it yet, but he LOVES it. He got rid of a FZ6 for it and much prefers the BMW.

NICE. The 1100 is what I want to upgrade to next summer

Around the world on a 250. Talk about gnar.

considering a bike for commuting and playing around on the weekends. i have very little road experience, i want two up for the ladies, i'm a big dude and i don't want to look like a shriner, i like the looks of naked bikes, and i want to spend less than $5K. thoughts? cb919, older buell, cruisers?

Triumph, so zee Brits.

**tex1230** · 06-28-2007, 01:48 PM

That is the '08 Triumph Street Triple.
Same engine as the Daytona 675 ("re-tuned"...whatever that means) with the styling of the Speed Triple.
I think it's coming in September or October.

Rumors are that Triumph will have 6 new models next year...

**MoNtY** · 06-28-2007, 06:17 PM

i probably could take the maxis off ya

**valleygirl** · 06-28-2007, 07:36 PM

Just wanted to report it was a gorgeous night in Northern NH for the ride home... then out again and then AGAIN for the ride home... the moon, if not full, is damn close and one incredible sight.

I heart my bike.

Wi3 answered already...that particular model won't be available until next year. It's the naked version of the 675. If you want something similar, check out he Speed Triple...it's a 1050cc naked, very similar to what Tex posted...and a sweet ride.

I'm jealous...my bike is sick, no riding for me in the last 3 weeks...

I had a wheel bearing break on my while I was riding and it managed to fuse itself the rear axle freezing it in place in the swingarm...which means...a whole new swingarm for me. I got the part in today, so hopefully I'm back up and running by Saturday.

**wingspan** · 06-28-2007, 09:04 PM

Thanks Valleygirl. It could have been really bad day when that happened...I was doing about 50mph when the rear locked up...thank god I was going straight at the time and kept the bike up.

Lax...fixed the image for you:
