    Evening all!

    Just joined up so thought I'd say hi and waffle on a bit...
    I've admired the original Street Triple for quite some time now, and always planned on getting one someday. But while having a look around my local bike dealer a couple of weeks ago (and always spend most time in the Triumph section) I saw the new 2013 Street Triple, and instantly fell in love beyond the original Street, looked more aggressive and modern. They've found ways to improve what I thought was the best looking bike.

    Anyway, after a chat with the sales guy, I booked a test ride and was sold on it! My only issue being that's its not very smooth rolling on/off the throttle, hopefully something I'll get use to.

    So, I'm now waiting on my new bike to be prepared and registered, hoping on it being ready for pickup on Monday (23rd). Will be in Crystal White, and added a flyscreen on too.

    Been biking for 8 years now, started on an Aprillia RS50, then moved to a Bandit 400 which is still sat in the garage waiting for attention or sale. So now's the time to get a big bike for myself after riding my brothers Bandit 600 (too heavy) and Ninja 636 (silly fast and uncomfortable).

    -- Excited --
    Andy

    Hi Wudy and welcome to the forum, it's a great feeling getting a new bike and the Street Triple is one of the best. Good luck and remember to post a few pics and let us know how it goes.
