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

Beautiful bike!
Dude that's a sweet bike! Congrats!
If you're on Facebook look me up and I'll get you in my group of Triumph Roadsters.
real nice bike, very comfortable too

Beautiful color! Congrats!
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!![]()
Welcome to the world of Triumph triples! I know I'll never look back, as mine is my 4th one.

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.
It's a great color, my Thruxton is diablo.![]()
Sunday Funday. Not bad considering I bought it 10/22 and we've had one snow storm since then

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.

Let me know when you are ready to move up to "the" Speed Triple, and I will be happy to take this sexy babeh off your hands![]()
I bought my street in March with 3k on it. She turned over 11k today on the way home from work \o/.
