A Honda?

[Kev-bo]

Ok,ok, I know this is a site for Suzukis but I wanted to show you pics of my other (and fav) bike. This is a 1975 Honda CB750F Super Sport. This was the first year of production for the Super Sport in this engine size. The odometer turned 30,000 miles up at Laconia bike week this year, and has won a few local shows. I average 4,000 miles a year on it, and it is 80% original (still fast too )

Thanks guys. I'm really lovin this machine. I have some more news too. It looks like I will be getting a new machine to park next to the Honda. I an in the middle of making a deal for a leftover Triumph Daytona 955i. When I was at the NY bike show last weekend I hooked up with a dealer who wants to get this yellow '03 model off his floor. I've been drooling over the Daytona for 6 yrs. I could'nt pass up the great deal he made. I hope to pick it up soon, but it is only 15 degrees out. But I still took it for a 5 mile test ride tonight! I'll keep you posted, and let me know what you think of the Daytona too. Seeya on the road!!

try to find a triumph forum. see if it is difficult to get parts for. i got rid of my '02 ducati monster 'cause you can wait as much as 4 mos. to get a part. it took me 3 mos. to get gauges, and 4 mos. to get a single screw. i understand triumphs are good bikes, but if its sitting in the garage waiting on a part its a big paperweight. down here in fl. you can get triumphs for next to nothing. some sitting on the showroom floor for 3 yrs. right now 03 1000 gsxr are being advertized for $9300 in so. fl. go on line price the 955 in south fl dealers, print out your best price and see if your dealer will beat it. tell them you have a pickup, and your not afraid to use it.

Thanks for the advice, it can't hurt to shop around. I haven't given them any money yet

Michael, Nice to have another north florida guy around!

i just saw in feb. cycle world '04 955's are $1700.00 cheaper than the '03's
that is good ammo for getting your bike cheap.

Sorry, the Daytona is actually an '02. I spent about 4 hrs on several sites last night, including "cycletrader.com" which is a great site for anyone looking for used bikes(couldn't belive how many cb750's there were!) Nothing I saw seemed to beat this deal except bikes that had been dropped. Also, owner reviews were really good. I looked at about 25-30, and the only downside to the bike is "your right thigh will get hot in traffic, and the GSXR1000 will still kick it's butt." Thought ya'll would like to here that one! So I'm gonna goforit! Too cold to ride the 955 home though... -5 up here!

Here ya go: http://www.triumphridersite.com/

The 955 is probably going to be my next bike, too, but in the Tiger. I think it has 12 or so more h.p. in the Daytona. The Tiger and Daytona are both great handling bikes. Big fun. You'll like it.

Hey everyone,
I'm back from Daytona FL Bikeweek! What a great time. Put 600 miles on the Triumph, it performed wonderfully. Stayed at a campground near the speedway... NO RAIN the whole week! It was funny, everywhere I went, people were coming up to me to ask about the bike. I guess they are a little rare... only saw a dozen or so Triumphs and less than HALF were Daytonas. Gotta go for now, but here is a pic of the bike being washed for me I hope it is not too inapropriate!

Really should edit out the guy in a beard in the background, this is a family site.LOL

Bet you didn't know that Santa rode a road king and was in Daytona this year!

I like those better than the new ones. Less angular. Nice.

(I'm talking about the motorcycle.)
