Cracking little bike, love it! She was even better today with the tyres scrubbed in. She’s a real hoot; predictable handling, turns on a sixpence, very nimble and more than quick enough for me. I was lucky to find this one, Street Triple R 675, June 2014 and 235 miles from new. Yes, you read that right, 235 miles from new. Previous owner likes to collect bikes but doesn’t seem to ride them. Anyhoo, I was particularly looking for a Street Triple; had one as a courtesy bike when my Speed was in for a service about ten years ago. I didn’t want to give it back because it was so much fun to ride. I guess I find it more fun to ride a smaller bike as hard as my (limited) abilities allow rather than having a missile that I can only ride at 30%. If I get bored of this one and fancy a change, it’ll be for a 765 RS.

I liked the baby Panzer but I found her quite awkward to ride. I couldn’t get comfortable for a start and I finally lost my sense of humour weekend before last when my hip flexors kept cramping up. I turned around and went home after an hour and finally admitted defeat.

Appointment at sleep clinic to collect the monitoring equipment for bed tonight. How I’m supposed to sleep when I’m wired up with all that bollocks, I’ll never know.

Feck me.. They don't call you Lightning for nothing, do they.!

Nowt wrong with the bike, I've ridden one and I liked it a lot. It's the looks.... Like someone ripped most of the plastic off a fully faired bike without taking the screws out first.

And those headlights.....even BMW's bike design team would've rejected that look.

As his bike is so hideous, it was a bit wasted on me. Anyhoo, I’ve never been one to worry too much about what other people think. I love it and tits to what anyone else thinks

Yarp, tis a bit weird...
I had one approx 2 years ago, best advice...crack one off before you roll over.
Make sure it's clean before you take it back...I got some weird looks.
Then I thought, well feck you lot, I've paid me stamp since I was sixteen.

I don’t particularly like it and it didn’t do anything when I tried it before. Also, see above.

Really thought it would sort itself out when I stopped working. I was wrong.
