I have a 60 plate street triple R, with 9K miles, arrows lowboy exhaust system (plus standard exhaust) and all the extra plastics in Matt grey. Full triumph service history. ASV levers.

I'd let it go for 4k, as per the above poster. If its something your interested in, I can send pictures. I never ride it anymore, I only do Trackdays on my Trackbike.

Yummy

Only other think i can add, is mine had an awful rattle when cold from the cam tensioner.

Normally they're noisy then it calms down after 30 seconds or so but mine didn't, but got it fixed for free at it's service.

And as MTB says, corrosion, mine was well protected with ACF50 and even after 3 months it was showing the signs of it

Were you riding it in the sea?

Mckean thanks for the offer, Mrs Powerstans is test riding one from a dealers at the weekend to check the ride is as good as the looks, so may come back to you after that, cheers.

I can see my ACF50 purchasing is going to go through the roof, still she has already said I can ride it if she gets it, which will be a nice contrast to my CB1300.

Now all I need to do is sell the Westfield in the spring and look for a project bike!!!!

Be wary of the lack of steering lock on the first marks, cured on the post 2012 update.

do what I did, simply throw your 675 up the road at 60 mph breaking the pish steering lock, resulting in a turning circle that only Torvill and Dean could beat whilst dancing to the bolero.

Agreed, but beginners may not have your clutch/throttle control
