Think I will start looking come the winter and find a good one! After owning mine for 8yrs at least I know what to look for.  Saw a silver one on an 03 at CMC at water orton,  headers focked,  fairly tidy but £3600, don't think so!

Well at least all the old protagonists are still here! Lol

Ivans kit Sir Mike,  R6 Shock Devilsyam,  plus a heap of knowledge and my local mate Karlo will be around sure to help me find one.

Thanks for the replies guys :)

Introduction / I might be back
« on: 06 September 2015, 04:32:52 am »
Hi Guys

It's been a few years since I came here!

I sold my more perfect than yamaha made gen 1 fazer thou 05 plate,  ivanised,  acra full system bike in 2012

I went to triumph speed triple 1050. 2011 and like a daft fool didn't keep the fazer(told you so springs to mind)

Anyway great bike the trumpet was apart from shocking gearbox and heavy clutch.  :(

I then had the hotrod triumph thunderbird storm 1700 with 8ball paint lucifers ride,  amazing kit but too big to get round back of me house.

I traded in for 2015 speed triple r with all the ohlins,  arrows etc,  sweet gearbox and a sound like a Lancaster bomber!

I now also own well on PCP a new R12015. :D


The reason I'm here is I want a project to please my missus,  as she wants the fazer back, she loved that bike,  and more comfy on that than the thunderbird. 

Is there any good ones still left that get sold on?  Looking for 02-06 gen 1. Can't be many that the great Mike ain't ivanised! I saw an 04 for sale at a dealer for 3500 quid but it had crap headers and doubt the exup had ever been serviced.

Just be nice to get some pointers on prices for one in reasonable condition,  miles not a problem as long as full service history.

Anyway hope everyone is well and getting some riding done.  Thought I'd say hello in here again first.


Cheers to all fazerish peeps :)

I have been roll up free (50grams+ a week) habit for over 2 weeks now. Already I feel better, coughing stop and wheezing in the morning.
I use a Shisha time infinity, good battery life, more than a day on one charge. The standard atomizer works well, but you do get a plastic after taste, moved on to a glass tank, much smoother vapour. I use from 16mg, down to 0mg nicotine, mixing as I go. I find fruit flavours really nice, cola, berry blitz and strawberry my favourite.
I find tobacco flavours a bit harsh, had a 24mg golden Virginia and that was vile!
Keeping to fruit flavours helps me keep away from fags.
I'm gradually reducing nicotine, but have the extra strength should I crave more .
Do get a bit light headed and get a bit of tummy ache, if been giving it some, but so much better than coughing until your wretching your guts up :eek .
I also have a Kamry K100 mechanical mod , very funky with blue anodised body, this is a telescopic ecig, has a 2000mAh battery and a special fuse to prevent it blowing up :eek . The vapour off this mod really hits the spot.
As always loads of bids with American twats testing them on you tube,but worth a watch.
 
Anyone see the tonight program on Ecigs.
Watch that and make your own choice. Currently no testing on how much safer than standard death sticks :rolleyes

Thanks for all the pictures and test ride reviews...but still am not sold on the looks. A street triple looks the part...a speed triple will kick the MT 09's  ass everywhere.
 
About the only good thing is if its price stays at same level, it will be a credible  alternative to the street...but I just hate the looks . It looks a complete bitsa IMHO.
 
You have to admire the triple engine config though for power torque and feel....its why I am so sold on triumphs triples. Will have to get me another for sure.!
 
Its almost embarassing though how Yamaha have tried to copy the street triple ....but they fooked up the looks....

Jon I had the chance to go for the MT09, its a nice bike for the price, but nowhere as nice as the Speed triple I chose, glad I spent the extra.
And now I have a speed triple, I do see why you rave on about them. Just put twin akra's on, you want to hear it.

Tubes are great until you put them down, then forget, tred on them and leave a line of copaslip all over the floor.
You then scrape it up and put in a pot.
The tub of copalip I have must be over 20 years old, no mess no fuss ;)
