And another not pink Ducati.
This is the Peace 62 Scrambler by Mr Martini, via Return of the Café Racers.
-
a work in progress allthough i have changed the the exhaust tips now ,and it has the spare tank on which still needs respraying .
-
More on the XSR900.

BikeEXIF has a lengthy review. This is unusual because they tend to cover the custom scene, and don't generally do test rides. But they grok what the bike's about, moreso than the traditional outlets.
-
MCN have pictures and a video to go with the first ride impression that I posted a day or two ago.
-
Visordown also posted a ride review.
Superbike also posted a video with lots of wheelies.
They reckon the XSR700 (review) is better for beginners.
Like Triumph, Yamaha are offering customisation packages for the bike. The Café Racer kit appeals.
I'm liking the direction that manufacturers are going these days in offering bikes that have a bit more personality than the lumps of plastic that have dominated the market in recent years. My BMW was great, but was a bit too efficient and boring.
Of course, I'll end up getting something pointy and plastic for my next ride instead, but it's the thought that counts, right?
@harley dave - nice Scrambler. But you'll have to change your monicker to Triumph Dave.

i still have the harley its in the garage

I had the pleasure of seeing this bike firsthand when it was in it was basically a rolling chassis. You have to respect the guys at Revival for building an actual race version that will see some serious use. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product in person at the Handbuilt show in Austin!

Form and Function

@harley dave @Clint_D thank you very much!

It was finally nice enough to break out the bike. I was going through withdrawals. 41*F isn't balmy though.
-
nice very nice
-
well i will say it again thats a very nice looking bike allthough i cant see the exhaust from here

I saw the new Triumph Street Twin at the local dealer today.
Compared to its predecessor it looks a more modern bike. If you like the vintage vibe, then get the old one or a Norton Commando. I reckon this is closer to something like a BMW R nineT, being a retro modern design.
It looks about the same size as the existing bikes, but I didn't get a chance to sit on it, so I can't say for sure.
I like it. I don't think that the finishes look quite as premium as they do in the press photos, but there's some nice detailing on the bike.
I'm more interested in its big brother, the Thruxton R, but refuse to put down a deposit until Triumph release specs.

just swap out the wheels for proper wire wheels and your good to go
