Your Non-Buell Bikes

[agfish18]

just the two for now... the CBR is a track only bike though. My fiancee takes the MSF course next weekend, hopefully we can pick up another bike for her in the near future.

2007 Scorched Yellow Triumph Daytona

and my baby girl~ since everyone else showed theirs lol. 2009 Hero Blue XB12Scg

 

[Alfatango1]

Love this bike, may get a speed triple too if I don't grab an XB12s this summer.

2010 Aprilia RSV4 Factory

This is a bike I've really considered too. 1 question: Is there a heat issue? I had read the thing will cook your nuts to well done quickly. Other than that I really want this bike.

 

[Dragonslayer]

I had a Daytona just like that. I sold it and got the Street Triple.

 

[mirkvid]

@Alfatango1: Surprisingly, I haven't had a heat issue. It gets to about 102 if I'm stopped at a light for a while, but drops back into the high 70's once I get moving. I'll see how it gets this summer in Nevada, but it can't be worse than my XB9.

PS: Love the 675. I was considering getting one before.

yeah motophreke, i have a jardine on my xb and it screams deeply all the time.

yeah, hopefully i can get my gf to take the msf course soon and then maybe i will trust her on a blast, or maybe our extra 650 savage since my mom just got a new vulcan.

lots of triumph lovers around here! those daytonas are sweet bikes!!

and nice photos @misternikko

 

[misternikko]

+1 on the speed triple, its got the 1050cc!

Once youve heard the triple motor its hard to look away. I heard it on youtube, not even in person, and bought one 3 weeks later. absolutely no regrets.

Thanks jmill25!! its a little hobby of mine~

 

[misternikko]

dragonslayer - whyd u switch? I had issues with my wrists being too heavily loaded for the first month or so but gradually got used to it via shifting my body weight around and changing my body position.

how did it feel going to the triple from the daytona?

[Dragonslayer]

@misternikko, I switched because the Striple is more comfortable. Handling the twisties is pretty much the same. If I was a track person, I'd probably stick with the Daytona, it's got a little more top end.

Hey bullxb12r, I helped make those fenders in my dads shop!

I'm assuming you are talking about the Indian fenders Dave?

 

[BeDaring08]

No longer own the buell but i know ride a 03 triumph speed triple. I made/modified the whole back half of the bike, everything besides the swig arm and wheel . I just made new headlight/cluster mount that sucks the headlights in and makes them turn with the forks.

 

[Loki]

90cc of awesome!

Haha that's what's up Loki! Dope pit bike

 

[racepro716]

Hey Kole, where are you from? Is the RS street legal? Here in Canada they're for sale but not for the road. Sexy as hell but I was dissapointed at the size and weight though. After a REAL RS-125 (Honda) that thing is a porker. This coming from an retired 125 GP rider. Wayne

Yup. That was over 10 years ago.
