Just bought a 675
Discussion
I just bought myself a Triumph 675 in scorched Yellow, should be picking it up next weekend.
I've not actually sat on one yet but as this was a bit of a deal I couldn't say no. Can't wait for the first ride! Second 'proper' bike, though I've not ridden in over a year now so might be a bit wobbly.
Got plans for the sports exhaust and quite possibly spraying her white

Nice - instead of going for white, why not use the scorched yellow and go for a sunburst effect (red to orange to yellow), like on a classic Gibson Les Paul guitar?
IMO, it would look pretty good on a bike, and be a bit different from most bikes out there.
Novel idea- can't picture what it might look like. Would be interesting.IMO, it would look pretty good on a bike, and be a bit different from most bikes out there.
As far as Jon's purchase goes if you haven't sat on one I just hope you don't mind ar5e in air. I tried one at BMF show & felt like I was about to fall over front wheel. Crackin bike though.
Good luck.

Looked into the ergos of all the 600 supersports and they're all within a few mm of each other so riding position doesn't vary much between bike to bike. I'm quite tall, it's nice there's room on the 675 to get your bum quite far back (I know one of the designers!)Good luck.

Not sure I'm sold on this, plus white bikes are still only just coming into fashion so are rare. That, plus the 675 was never offered in white means it would be unique...IMO, it would look pretty good on a bike, and be a bit different from most bikes out there.
Argue with this

I love 675's.
I'd of had one over my 08 R6 I've just bought if the 0% finance deal was as good.
They sound sexual.
Ironically I would have probably had the 08 r6 over the 675 if this one hadn't come up at such a good price. I should be able to ride it for a year and sell it for what i paid.I'd of had one over my 08 R6 I've just bought if the 0% finance deal was as good.

Got the R6 yet? Enjoying it?
Yep, had it about a month.
I passed my test in August last year, spent some time on a fzr600r, then a thundercat, then decided that I'd love a new bike and the decorating could wait!
I keep reading in the magazines how the R6 is unsuitable for road use and inexperience riders, but its all relative isn't it?
I really rate it, but as I say my experience is limited so cant really say how it compares to its rivals.
At MCN live in march there was a grey 675, with gold coloured levers, wheels and rear sets and it was by far the best bike there for me.
