    D675 Purchase

    The LAST place you should buy a D675 from is Greatbay. The mechanics that work there do not know their ass from their elbow. Not only has it been my experience that they have zero clue what they are doing, two of my friends had work done there and will never go back. Customer service pretty much sucks as well.

    Personally, I like the guys at Performance Cycles in Shrewsbury. Mechanics are certified and one of the Triumph guys that works there has been wrenching Triumphs for 20+ years.

    If I didn't have as many issues as I had with the bike, I'd say the same thing Hoss and others have said; the bike is great. Size, weight and track performance is nice, when it's working.

    That's amazing. I've only been there once or twice, but I've always heard that place was supposed to be one of the best Triumph dealers in the US (best service, best mechanics, etc).

    Wow Nanc, sorry to hear you had such problems with the bike. Was the coolant issue just the cheap plastic elbows that Triumph used? What were the transmission issues, if you don't mind? How many miles did you have on it? While I've been lucky with mine, it's always good to know


    What are you replacing it with?

    Yea I did.... I figured that just about everything on it, I would have wanted anyway so I might as well... the only thing I'm going to add immediately that it doesn't currently have is frame and swingarm sliders.

    There is nothing like the feeling of picking up a new bike...and that is a sick bike.

    I was thinking about the black, but with the way black shows blemishes in the paint so easily, and the scorched yellow is DAMN sexy, and gets more so the more you look at it. I just wish it would friggin stop raining for the ride home
