    Hi folks,
    Totally new to this brand, as I usually have Jap bikes, saying that my other bike is a GSXR1000 so I've got a 765 Triple RS for work, hopefully does well getting through traffic

    Hello!
    I'm new here too - wow, a 765RS for commuting, that'll be doing it in style. My cousin has one, seems to be a fantastic bike. :)

    It's definitely easier to weave through traffic on the Triple than the GSXR.
    Was really quick tonight, in the car it's over an hour, on the Triple, 25 mins. Brilliant!!

    Hello there from the sunny(ish) south of Scotland,
    Enjoy your new "time travel" weapon, the only puzzle with that sort of time saving is that on sunny days you end up going the long way home. I KNOW this puzzle!

    I'm dying for good sunny weather to get a proper go on this bike, without the gail force gusts aswell.
    It's been really windy here for a long time unfortunately so your traveling along at 45 degrees in straight line till you go by a lorry!

    Morning folks
    I tried to put a pic earlier in my post but it didn't work, hopefully this time.
    Not to be to bold I got my 765 in Silver Ice. See when it's polished its looks very very nice.
    Unfortunately it's been raining this weekend so I've managed to get the cover off in between showers and removed the rear foot pegs, a reservoir sock and played with the dash display.
    Once the sun is out again I'll get an updated pic as I'm waiting on a fly screen.
    Parts for a 2024 bike are hard to come by
    I usually put a tail tidy on every bike I get but as I'll be using this a bit more for commuting I don't want that black line up my back so I'm hoping the genuine no plate will help stop that

    Hi Helmut Visor

    Hope you've managed a run lately since it's actually not rained last couple of days?

    No need to rub it in, if only it was like last year, 20+ degrees dry and British Superbikes was excellent at Knockhill. This year is to pee down all weekend, again!☹️
