I fancied a Street Triple for a while, but stories of 675 motors suffering catastrophic mechanical problems (inc dropped valves amongst other things) even on low mileage examples put me off, Triumph's customer service didn't seem to gain much praise either. (That said, that's without knowing how the bikes have been serviced / looked after).

Still a nice looking bit of kit though.

Had the nekid 675 (Street Triple-R) for just over a year
It's a real fun bike, makes me smile  :D
Only done 7,000 miles but been 2-up to N.Ireland & Scarborough no bother
The motor is a peach (mid-range a plenty) fun trying to keep the front down  :eek
If in doubt, give one a go ...

When you have looked at the Triumph, go look at the big Tuono.
 
You will not be disappointed.
 
To put it simply, the Tuono 1000 R is the bike that all other nakeds have to beat.
 
It is a machine for the demanding motorcyclist, the rider who seeks maximum performance from a naked.
 
More Bang for your bucks on the Tuono. 145bhp.
 
By the way, my Tuono is for sale.
