    New 675

    A few weeks ago I traded in my venerable fz6 for a 2012 street triple r. Bought it from marks motorsports in Enfield ct and have nothing but great things to say about them. Without having signed a single document, mark drove up
    to Maine to get that last Diablo red r version that was left in new england.






    Still riding to work




    Only two farkles so far but very useful

    Very nice purchase. I made the same move from FZ6 to STR. Get those stickers off the painted surfaces sooner than later so they won't leave a mark. A little goo gone and then a wash to get the chemicals off does the trick.

    Then switch the headlights to the "better" round ones and you're all set!

    I went from a Honda 599 to a Street Triple, almost the same thing.
    Enjoy it.

    Nice bike. I have been by Marks but never stopped. I might have to use them for my Triumph needs.

    I had never even heard of that shop as I didn't know there was a new Triumph dealer in CT. Good to know!

    Thank you. Ever since Marks became a Triumph dealer they have a really nice selection of Genuine Accessories. Great people too. Like I said, they drove all the way to Maine to get this bike for me.

    Kenn- I was confusing you with someone else. Added you to my list. White helmet on a blue FZ6 is my photo.

    Diablo? That's Spanish for fighting chicken, right? With the talons? And the beak?

    Apparently it is Spanish for "pull me over"

    Yeah, I meant FZ6 -> Street Triple almost the same as 599 -> Street Triple.

    Sunday Funday. Not bad considering I bought it 10/22 and we've had one snow storm since then

    Re: New 675

    Well, you're definitely on a faster rate than me, congrats. I got my Tiger 800 right around the first of April, and can ride but one day a week and not every week at that. I rode today and finished with 4492 on it.

    Sad. I used to put over 12,000 miles a year and that was also riding almost all on weekends.
