  1. Hello all, well after wanting a Monster ever since I was 15 years old (20 years ago) yesterday I went out and bought.....

    A 2010 Street Triple R :eek:

    (thats the exact bike)

    Bought it mostly to get the wife back on two wheels and for me to commute/get around town. Next job is to turn my 749 into a track bike and then start saving my pennies for a ll98

  7. Just disconnect one of the plug leads and it will feel and sound like a proper Triumph!

  11. Thanks guys, looking forward to trying something a little diffrent. Still love my 749 though and can't imagine anything beating the feeling of being launched out of a corner by a L Twin Desmodromic valve actuated engine

  13. Just saved £400 on my insurance quote, so asking the dealer to fit arrow cans :D

  15. Check out this thread --> http://ducatiforum.co.uk/f16/insurance-7479/

    To say I saved £400 depends on your perspective, but I ended up paying £400 less than original quoted on-line after speaking to someone on the phone. I haven't had bike insurance for the last couple of years, but when I told them I had been insured for 5 years with no claims prior to that they gave me 1 years free no claims.
