There are a couple of forums related to the D675, with quite a few people now owning them. First deliveries for customer bikes are in early March, a few dealers have demo bikes available, pretty sure the people who have put down deposits will be getting first dibs on the demos.

By all accounts its a stunning bike, with possiably one of the best sound tracks to boot.

Tomorrows MCN is doing a shootout between the R6 GSXR600 D675 and the CBR600, should give you some clues.

Over here they are launched end of March, the local dealer may have one to look at on Saturday. They're going nuts over them, reckon people are going to be paying over list for them so it might be a good summer investment...

I just like the look of it.

The gray one especially.

Lovely looking bikes.. Saw one at the Ally Pally show. I spoke to a couple of dealers and was told that I couldn't get one until June/July...Barring a load of cancellations.

Friday night the local dealer has some sort of preview where you can sit on it and hear it but no riding it. So i'm going to head over and take a look. Its growing on me daily.

I can get one March, they have 4 gray ones left.

It just looks so twitchy and small and if I put on any weight I'll snap it in the middle...

how much are they in the u.s ?

[scoobz]

$8995 plus Freight which is $500 ish, plus Licence $75, and Sales Tax which is 9.1%

So all in $10364.50

No parallel importing of this little puppy.

The dealer has to contact Triumph and ask for the ECU initalisation codes when they register it or so I've been told.

Be quick then, graphite is limited to something like 10% of the production run! A mate of mine has a graphite one on order

There is no limit on the colours.

If you order one now you will get one July/Aug
