My next bike

[KungFooBob]

They had a big change in ~2019 I think. When it went from the one with the gimp mask/ball gag headlight to the single round light. They gained a fair few ponies and a bunch of trick hardware.

This/last years is different again, compare the silver injector covers to the 2019/20 model.

Yeah I think that's the non quickshifter model. Whether that would matter to mofo I don't know

That sums up the GSXS, it's a do everything bike, if that's what you want them also look at the 900 Yamahas and Kawasakis, they're the same thing with more mid range power and dubious looks.

The ultimate bike of this type is the CB1000R, but it's twice the price of the GSXS and a lot more power.

The Kawasaki only has about 100 gee gees and only half the torques of mine. And a lot more weight.

Just remembered if I'm gonna add the Gurls MT to my list. Do I add the Trumpet Trident too

They do look Twee in size though and I'm hardly big.

I started my thread with a hairy arsed 1000cc fire breather, at this rate I'll be on stabilisers soon

[weeksy]

Tbh mate, I'd arguably go 765 over the Trident.

Aren't they a gurl's bike?

Just get one bought and get a thread up in 'owners/projects'. It doesn't matter if it's shit,it's all something for us to read.

Tbh I was surprised how much I didn't dislike @Trinity765 one, it was good. I wasn't over impressed when I took @Tricky one out but looking back maybe I was overly harsh on that one.
The only real criticism I'd throw is that it didn't excite me.

Only if girls like booking their bike in for a new clutch every few thousand miles.

I had a 2009 675 Street from new which I did 63k on with no issues, then a 2012 675R which had 45k on it when I sold it with no issues. I've had three clutches, a new timing chain adjuster and new cams in 30K on the all singing, all dancing 765RS. I look after my bikes (ok, so I dont clean headers) but I keep to the servicing schedules done by Triumph and I change the oil and filters between services. I wouldn't recommend the 765.

[Trinity765]

I really (really, really, really) like the new Speed Twin and if you want a nice surprise, take one out for a run and I miss my CB1000R (not the new style) so I'd like to test ride a GSX-S1000

I think a tuono 660 would be more him than either of those

[KungFooBob]

Is that because he's actually a girl?

Lol move on from the girls bike, you've got a fucking pink one!

[KungFooBob]

Pah, pink is manly, I'm sat typing this in a pink Gant shirt!

[Skub]

Gant

Did you spell that correctly?

[KungFooBob]

Anyways (as if to cement my reputation), here's a left field choice and an itch I'd like to scratch someday...

I know it's all been nude bikes so far. But I really like this. I really like the colour too and funnily enough it's the only bike I've shown the Mrs she thought looked nice So I guess she agrees with you lot on fuggly bikes.

And in fairness when not commuting I did like my Firestorm on country rides.

Before all this started a Tracer was pretty much top of my list after riding Weeksy's XSR as its similar but with a faring and centre stand for longer rides and a top box won't look shite. But I've been put off by the not exciting compared to the MT. But are they that bad?

I do like it.
