hello everyone!
let me start from the beginning, last aug I crashed my 06 ZX6R. over the winter I have been buying parts and replacing absolutely everything. it cost way more than the bike is worth to replace everything in OEM parts. every piece of plastic, gas tank, everything on the right side basically.
anyways I fixed this thing to 100% even put a new exhaust and PCV on it. only to find out later that my engine burns oil :banghead. it wasn't burning very bad but it was definitely the start of a very serious and expensive problem. when I got the confirmation of the oil burning, words cannot express how pissed I was. I was so mad I literally walked out of the service center and into the show room, and said "give me a fucking bike".
so i'm sitting on a brand new 2015 ZX6R, the 30th anniversary edition. I like it. I proceed to test the salesman on the standard questions. ABS? TRC? Options? im looking 2 bikes over and then I see this Triumph...its black...
I go over to it and sit on it. it felt good, the seat was a little higher, but I kinda liked it. it was so thin. it was so light. ABS standard you say? they'll throw in all the options, quickshifter, comfort seat, upgraded brake rezys, carbon fiber parts included from the 675R version, all installed for free? it was a good deal for sure. so I bought it. i know this bike isn't a kawi, but i feel at home here. i also posted this yesterday on the Triumph forums, not even a response...
