I still haven't seen it live yet...but a freind of mine took these pics of it sitting on the dealerships showroom floor...under six weeks to go.











Can't wait.

Probably will buy a 2010 Ford Ranger, Sport Track or F-150 or a 2011 F-150 first. Once the dust settles off of that deal then I'll see where I stand on when I will order the R3T. I may have to wait till I get a job after I return to the states from working over here in Afghanistan...but I am planning on having both bikes by September or so...hopefully earlier.

I do okay working over here in Afghanistan but I end it over here the end of May/beginning of June. My wife wants me home and I think I'll be ready to end this at that time anyway.

Sweet ! Sure is cute, but then they all are when they're babies. 6 weeks eh? well, considering the weather lately you probably wouldn't be able to ride it much anyways. Is she a 1700? i think all the red ones are, no?

Yes, as Daz mentioned it is a 1700 for 2010 from the factory not a big bore build kit that was also available.

As for the weather northwest FL has been getting 22 to 36 degrees F (-2C to +1C?) lately but with the heated grips I'd still be riding. I do want to preface that though, if I felt it was too cold, at my age, I would probably just jump in the car...when I was younger I would macho it out.

CONGRATS!! When I went to the triumph dealer last July to just "LOOK" the next thing I knew was I left my B king at the dealer & rode the new T bird home! They had it prepped and ready to go in 2 hours.
