Most everyone here has probably been to the
specs page for the new 675 triple, but it will be worth checking out the articles in the new
Torque if you receive it.
I'll be interested to hear what others think about things like the stacked gearbox ("a first for Triumph") and internally located oil and water pumps. Definitely a compact layout, but what might we expect in the way of teething pains with such a radical departure?
It should be very interesting to see dyno curves for this machine as soon as anyone has them. According to the magazine, the engine "pulls hard from as low as 2000 rpm....the torque curve on this bike is nearly horizontal, with 60 Nm on call at just 4000 rpm." It already meets Euro 3 specs, so there should be no need for diminished performance in the 2007 model year.
And it's 110 mm narrower than the D650. Very sleek!
