What bike are you obsessing about today?

Triumph have made some great looking bikes over the years, but this is a particularly good one.

I also think these looks amazing, these attract me in the same way as the Hayabusa.



I've never ridden anything as big as these bikes, but whenever I sit on one these just feel so right to me. I'm 6 foot, about 14 stone so not an excessively large bloke, but I find the roomy feeling really nice, the reach to the bars, foot peg position etc, I will have to own one of these big bikes one day.

Was in my local bike shop a few weeks ago and a guy had just traded in his Blackbird for one of these, exact same colour and spec. The picture doesn't do it justice, it was stunning in the flesh. The green is metal flake as well which really sets it off. He was just back from a test ride and was buzzing about it.

While I'm on a two stroke vibe.

I don't get the retro thing tbh. Looks clean though.

LC treefiddy

It's more nostalgia than anything

Nice, what model?

RD 250lc

It was the first model LC that I owned back in 1983.

Really fancy a supermoto for a bit of back lane hooning and a cr500 in a cr250 frame seems about as bonkers as they come

MV Agusta Dragster RR...

Even with the dodgy wheels

Beautiful bike and the wheels look better in the flesh

After riding a mates RSVR I've got a massive hankering for an Italian v-twin, in particular I want an 1198S/SP. I can't quite bring myself to sell the R1 though so considering selling the car (and getting a shed to replace it) to finance the endeavour. Stop got niggling doubts about Duc reliability though.

Currently these. Loved every minute of the test ride I had.

I go out riding with a mate who has one of these. They dont hang about when you give them some!

I am a bit partial to this but I could be biased as its on my drive

That looks stunning. Bet it's a proper weapon as well.

I had a shot of a cr500 when I was 16 and jumping about on a DT50. I was glad to get off it in one piece truth be told!

Got a hankering for something small capacity, lightweight and two stroke. And beautiful helps as well. This would do!

Such a beautifully proportioned bike. Would be considerably less well proportioned with my fat arse on it but I could live with that.

Gorgeous.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't go and buy a 2011 Triumph 675 this weekend? At this moment, I can't think of one.

None whatsoever.
I love mine.
