    hi all

    Just found this place after being a triumph rider for three years, currently ride an old 04 plate Daytona 600. Although it is about to be traded for a new 675 abs shortly. Have just posted a small snag I am having as well on another thread if anyone can help that would be amazing.

    Thanks
    Mick

    The old 600's are a great bike, only every electrical fault with it, until now but is one is down to my own daftness. As a middle weight 600 you can't go wrong, I just want a new bike and the new 17 plate 675 ABS looks ideal. Is there much difference between that and the 675 R?

    For the price the ABS it is then. I have test rode the ABS and it feels a lot lighter all round over my old 600 Daytona. Did look at a few of the cruisers but couldn't bring myself to grow up yet.

    That's cheap for the Guy Martin signed one. Thanks for the heads up but I have a part ex deal with the local triumph dealer here, due to a work thing I get a real good discount

    Thanks for all the welcomes. Snag on the bike is now fixed. After stripping her down, it turned out it was only the fuel pump relay had got wet ! Bit of time in the sun and some WD40 and it was fixed. Only thing is, I didn't need to strip her down after all! But time well spent anyway.
    Thanks again
