Hi

Hi,

Well hopefully on Monday I will confirm my purchase of a 675R . I had planned to wait until next month due to the new plate coming out and finances looking slightly healthier, but as I was moving the insurance company could not update my policy as it was "too big of a change" on my old bike. So then the policy would be void as the address was at my dads house (even though that is where the bike was) and I was going to be 40miles away, this basically forced my hand and I took my old bike to the dealership yesterday.. didn't even get a last go

So hopefully on Monday the guy I was dealing with will be back and I can get it finalised, this will be my biggest purchase to date and only new thing I have ever bought... but I wanted a 675 since it first came out

 

Welcome aboard, what was ur old bike?

 

Tl1000s... Didn't really want to get shot of her but realistically she wasnt the best round town!

 

Thanks guys, I am gutted to be given up the Tl but im really looking forward to getting the 675

 

Welcome to our friendly little forum aaron.d, I hope you'll enjoy it & your new bike.

Where abouts are you.?

 

Based in Aberdeen. On buying the bike think I will get the triumph bungs and tank pad also the alarm I know I have heard stories about battery problem but will be using the bike daily, and kept on the road any thoughts?

 

Yet another Aberdeen, weren't we trialing a spam filter for you lot.?

What year is your 675r. If it's the pre-13 version, first purchase is engine protection.
I have an alarm on mine, never gives me any problems (tempting fate), but I always use an Optimate when she's garaged for more than a couple of days anyway.

 

It will be a brand new 2013...

 

Welcome in and enjoy the Bike

Hello and welcome in. The bike is excellent. I know you'll love it. You just now need to add extra bling and take it to a track.

 

Welcome to the wonderful world of 3 cylinders

 

Thanks looking forward to getting it.

The tyres I have heard people say not great in damp/wet I am in Aberdeen so this is a frequent occurrence. do people think I should be looking to change them asap? Or will they be ok?

First new thing too, had a look at vinyl paint protection no one up here does it for a start then read sometimes doesn't even help that much, just give her a good wax?

 

Congrats. You'll find the guys here have plenty of ways to help you spend your hard earned casheesh! You'll also learn heaps as well.

 

Thanks think it will take about 7 days before I get it from ordering it. Going to be a long week!!

 

With your pace, I doubt you struggle to keep the tyres hot.

Remember, I want a go on the R!!

 

Ha ha it's been a while! Yeah I plan to give you all a shout when I get her so hopefully we can all get out for a run
