    I thought I’d say hello, I picked up a 2013 Street Triple a couple of months ago it’s reasonably standard with just over 4000 miles and full Triumph service history, I’m not into mods so it’ll suit me fine.

    I got back into bikes about 5 years ago after a 30 year break, I’ve recently owned a Ducati 600SS, BMW F800ST, Honda CBR600F and CBR900RR Urban Tiger, a Kawasaki GPZ500S and an old Yamaha XS500.

    I wanted something a bit newer that would be capabale of scratching, commuting and touring so the Street Triple seemed tick most of the boxes. So far I’ve been really impressed, it’s a great little bike.

    Hi Mate & welcome to the forum, couldn't agree more on the virtues of the 675, what a peach of a motor, does everything well & easy to ride, you have chosen well!

    Thanks Dave, I’m really enjoying it, very easy going bike to ride and a lovely keen engine. Did about 120 miles today, very cold and dirty but a great ride.
