Scary thing is that it was probably one of Nigels fastest rides ever, and he's not remotely a bad driver. Joey was just fast as gently caress and totally fearless.

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.

He's probably still 1-2k short of redline. The pipe looks like a custom one off, because no stock pipe is going to fit in that spondon frame (I think that bike runs a spondon frame...)

Doesn't that thing go up hills that are like 60 degrees or some poo poo, with it's 2hp and 5 billion ft/lb of low end torque. Pawn Stars guys picked one of these up recently and restored it. I think the top speed was like 7mph or something.

Cool...I happened upon a write-up a while back because with Daimler out of the picture (and the Dodge Tomahawk being nothing more than a curiosity for the wealthy), it is the closest Chrysler has ever come to being involved in motorcycle production. An early version of these had Chrysler Super Bee outboard motors.

Triumph is slowly leaking stuff about their new 800.



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.

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.

20-25 years if a slight amount of bodywork is involved.
