I agree mate. If I had the extra funds id probably have threw down for a speed triple instead of the gen 1 myself, may as well go for it while you have the money
Re: Recommend me a bike. - fazersharp - 14-04-14
I need to do a test ride on a street tripple !!!
Who wants to buy my FZS if I like it
Re: Recommend me a bike. - ogri48 - 14-04-14
The 1050 is an awesome riders bike, both it and the 675 are perfect road engines.
I've got a triumph, albeit not a performance bike ( bonneville), and there is something incredibly satisfying about owning one, though that might be because I'm older than most of you. It just feels kinda cool too be on a Brit bike, missus loves it too. There's so many reasons we all love our bikes, it isn't down to facts and figures, it's a heart thing more than most. Keep going nogster, your getting there mate...

I wouldn't bother with the Z800 , I tried the Z750 & the Z1000 and the difference between them is ooh that feels smooth and rip your foccin head off .
Me I am determined to buy the new Monster 1200 this year .
Re: Recommend me a bike. - ogri48 - 14-04-14
Lot of you blokes buying new bikes this year, never been a better choice I guess

Its just at 15 years old she aint getting any younger, so gonna see how I feel on a 2012 street
Re: Recommend me a bike. - noggythenog - 14-04-14
I managed to view a Z800 today & I'm mighty impressed...it was just as i wanted it to be.....styling is spot on & it has nice proportions....everything on it looks really good quality.
After my cb1000r disappointment yesterday i was preying that it would be a comfy fit.........&'it is perfect! 8) ......my legs were comfy round the tank, reach to the bars was just right.......sitting on the bike with my foot down on the road sees me flat footed on the ground with just a small leg bend, almost as if I'm just standing up instead of being contorted..
Feet on the pegs is nicely natural as per the pic.
The dealer is getting a demo bike next week so im looking forward to a test ride but so far so good.

You may indeed buddy................where's the "report fazersharp" button :evil :evil :evil
Aint it strange how different folk just take a liking to something though....or a dislike rather......& i cant see that the Z will sell all that well with all the competition it has but there's something strangely endearing about that...& i cant help liking it
Im quite sure the speed triple outperforms it in most areas.....but i do like being the underdog

You foccin sarcy fuckers
Mr Crisp....perhaps you should be renamed Mr Waffle.....you joined after me but have almost 1000 posts more ha ha.
Who's the most waffly versatile :lol
Trouble is i feel a bit duty bound now to continue coz there's others in the same boat and it seems rude to just not talk about what's goin on and the pros and cons and stuff.....i asked for advice and got lots of it....without someone mentioning the Z i prob wouldnt have even considered it so big thanks to Mr Self Destruct onhat one i think. 8)
