Hi From South West Of France !!

Hi all,
names robert.

As title states i live in tiny village in the south west of France, about an hour or so out of Bordeaux.
Hi to all .
hang around on the VFRD forum sometimes.

Have always loved v-twins, sadly nothing out there does it for me at the moment when taking everything into consideration ( finance / price / insurance prices / maintenance / power / look / new euro emmision laws / french governing laws for all non-abs bikes )

"you can understand the head ache all that can provoke "
So ......
Had a sv1000s ( sold )
Then a ktm rc8r ( which was unfortunately too expensive to live with but was magnificent )
tradded it in for a low km VFR800f 2014 did 21 000 kms ( fell in love with it, then out !! got really tired of the v-tec)
and
so tradded the vfr for a zzr1400 2015 low kms too ( WOW ) that was bloody amazing !!!!!!!
that
i sold to pay off loans and enable me to buy my house in the country.
Now that the house is bought i needed another bike,
so

i ordered and am awaiting delivery of a 2018 street triple 765 rs .
added a heap of bits from the triumph catalog,
got her on a 0.9% partial loan from Triumph and a 5 yr warranty.
This will be my first Triumph, was undecided between a speed r ( left over and the rs )
decided i liked the rs a tad more. ( my wrists will enjoy a light bike for a change )
looking forward to being part of this forum.
take care
rob.

 

Hi Tucker,

Black she is indeed !!
requested a thin red stripe on both sides of the belly pan, to go with the other red bits here and there. ( the triumph dealer i ordered from has a good rep for subtile touches, we'll see )

thanks to all for the warm welcome .

 

Hi Dave,
will take you up on that, not sure when, perhaps next year, or this who knows .
thanks .
rob.
