Kid Dynamite 6006 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Thinking of chopping mine in for something different. I fancy one of these 3. All relatively modern but with a more vintage design. Which do people prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38941 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The Truimph, by a country mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6006 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Oldest engine of the 3 but easily the cheapest too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38941 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Aye, but it's a knicker-wetter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14714 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The Honda's like a CB 750 my brother used to have.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 336 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Don't know about a knicker-wetter but it's definitely the best looking of the 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6006 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 The Honda's like a CB 750 my brother used to have.. That's lush. It's a custom paint job on a new cb1100, it's a homage to the CB750. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4242 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Aye the Triumph for me, quite like the Ducatti as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausman 0 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Definitely the triumph, it just oozes class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The Honda's like a CB 750 my brother used to have.. This for me too. First glance it reminded me of the Suzuki GT 250 I had as a lad. The other two look a bit like they should be in Batman or the like. Bit tarty.

The Fish 9064 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Don't know about a knicker-wetter but it's definitely the best looking of the 3. Like a broken fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two look a bit like they should be in Batman or the like. Bit tarty. You must have missed the whole Mods v Rockers thing. Cafe Racers have been around since the 60s. I think I'm going to opt for the Triumph. Partly because I have a Triumph leather jacket that would look a bit daft riding a Ducati The Triumph/Ducati are appreciating too whilst the Honda is depreciating Thanks for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6006 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Cruisers aren't really suited to city riding unfortunately. If you buy a cruiser it's got to be a Harley imo, anything else is just an imitation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausman 0 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Harley's look good and sound good but mechanically they are shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6006 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Harley's look good and sound good but mechanically they are shit. New ones are. Engines are fairly old school though so easier to fix at home, rather than requiring computer mapping etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6006 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Right, I've picked out 2 Triumphs. Both the same bike but with different seats/fenders/exhausts/bars Which one do people prefer the look of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4242 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The second one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Top one looks more a younger mans bike than the other IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The yellow ones more eye catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken 119 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 The first one would be my pick personally. I used to own a CBR600. It was a beauty to ride until I came off it and have a permanet scar now as a reminder of it. This story, unlike the other one I told is true.

Monkeys Fist 38941 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Bottom one, if it wasn't yellow. If those are the actual two you have to choose from, get the top one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
