What type of bike is it, sport tourer?

The red one looks really good IMHO.


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Triumph Speed Triple RR revealed.  Sexay!  :love:



Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

Meh, dare I say it, I think the new Guzzi is a more cohesive design.

my sportbike days are long gone, but that is a nice looking bike.

that said, in reality, it's overkill for regular riding...your bike is less than half the price and you can use all of it (and it still looks good).
When you've lost the argument, admit defeat and hit the smite button.

Another vid of how awesome they sound..btw i was looking at them at the dealer yesterday.

That guy rides the best roads and has (probably?) the best 'listening' videos on YouTube. No talk, no Eurotrash music...just the bike and an Akrapovic exhaust and 90% balls out.

I've seen videos of guys riding the CB650R flat out on public roads.  Winding it out to redline in the first four gears is total insanity on publc streets and highways.  I'm not sure where the overkill for the street line is drawn, but it is well below this Triumph.

for sure...in terms of legal road speeds, pretty much anything 150cc and up will break them...the bigger the engine (more power) the quicker it gets to those speeds and the higher the top speeds are.

but as much as i love some of the bigger engine bikes, it can be tough to resist temptation as they are bananas fast.

Meh, dare I say it, I think the new Guzzi is a more cohesive design.

I did the Triumph design better.

The fairing reminds of the old Vetter units....and you can't get any more nostalgic and retro than that!!

It does look a bit Vetter like. Personally I'm in favor of the trend back to round headlights. Just because LED's made it possible to design oddball headlights doesn't mean they are a good idea

It would have looked great with two round headlights.

Too bad they went with a single headlight with the new BWS 125.

Speaking of Yamaha, they released the XMax in Canada!  :o

ABS and traction control, proximity key, it's really the perfect urban runabout.
