Headlight swap would only take you like, 2-3 years max.

gently caress YOU! I swapped out the busted rear end gear shift mount on my 250 the same day as the part arrived, 4 days after it fell off. Those 4 days where just waiting for the USPS to deliver it.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Seriously though, you may find they grow on you after awhile. I hated the dual headlights for years and years...I think 3-4 years in I finally started to like them.

Although I've always wanted to swap a set of projectors on to a triumph just for shits and giggles, I think the over and under setup would look awesome. You should buy one and try it! Prove me wrong! :buddy:

I don't mean to keep crapping up this thread, but I can't seem to find the stunting thread I started and I'm really interested in hearing thoughts from the people here as you guys represent a crucial demographic of motorcyclists that I'd love to have interested in watching these videos.

I really like what Triumph has done with their street bikes like the Triples, but I just can't get over the hideous headlight treatment them seem to have adopted as their "thing".

Triumph, I want to buy your bikes, I really do. Please stop with the horrible headlights. I know they're different than everyone else, but that's because everyone else can see how ugly they are.
Replace them with S1000RR headlights.

It's nice to see that some gay guys can throw off the shackles of convention by riding sport bikes instead of leather-man cruisers.

Also, skin graft city.

I was at the Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix as a volunteer track builder, which of course netted me tickets for the race weekend.

I took a bunch of pictures, which are in this thread.

Here are the bike-related pics, all-Italian hotness:

100 hp, 65 ft.lbs., 185 kg. Will apparently be available in offroad version with 21" front tire. Also love how the tank and seat lines are flatter than the banana shaped Tiger 1050. This will be a bloody good bike.

But seriously, it's direct competition to BMW's R1200GS Adventure. Shaft-drive and all. So yeah, it's a Japanese Farm Implement.

I imagine an insurance company with a global reach could dig up scores (if not hundreds) of pre-destroyed (read: non-rebuildable salvage) bikes that *look* nice.
