Oops.....my bad. Must've been the old one. And it was a while ago. They all look the same to me.

I blame the designers.

Most naked sport-bikes look very similar to me.

Surely the title of the thread "New Street Triple coming - 10th January" was a bit of a give away that it was a different one to what you sat on

Yep. I keep track if every single bike I'm not interested in but may or may not have looked at. Ever.

It was a nice afternoon, so i took a run over to our local triumph dealer to see if they had a demo of the new one.

Triumph really must be knocking them out the factories quickly as they had 5 x Street Triple RS's. Two were for delivery to customers, they had two black (demo and showroom) and one is matt silver ice. The silver one is lovely (h)

I had a good poke around them and they look really good. I love the bar end mirrors and the dash is fantastic. They said a test ride was no problem, so i'll drop over when i've got half a day and have a go on one.

Biggest problem is Mrs Cookiemonster :D I mentioned buying one and got the look, so more work required on that. :D

A couple of crap pics:

I figure it's easier to borrow theirs than to drug you and steal your keys

He'd be happy you only steal his keys this time, why do you think he's moved to a more comfortable riding posistion type bike (lol)
