[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Smokin deal on a Triumph

Posted: 7/21/2013 1:47:57 PM EDT

I just brought home a 2006 Triumph Speed Four with a little tail damage. The bike is in decent condition other than the subframe being warped. But I only paid $350 so it was worth it.

Stupid question - subframe is what holds the seat and tail? Or what?

Also, is it a problem that is it bent?

Guy about 5 miles away from me put it on craigslist. It had been stolen about a year ago, police returned it 2 days later with low speed crash damage and wires hanging from the ignition. The guy was disgusted with the whole thing and not being too handy and without a place to work it, he just wanted to get it out of the way. To answer any questions about the theft, it has a clear title in his name.

Wow...at $350 I'd have bought it in a hearbeat and asked my wife for forgiveness later.

That is a smoking deal. Either restore or rebuild, it is cheap enough for you to do either. Check out Customfighters.com for some ideas on a new sub-frame. I am keeping my eye out for a deal like this to do a custom street fighter, café/brat or bobber build.

Awesome deal!

I picked up last week a decent deal - although not as smoking as yours. $325 for an 82 Yamaha XJ550 Vision. Neat bike so far, and in awesome shape. Guy took very good care of it and had not ridden in in a few years because he lost his body strength with his cancer treatments. His only condition is that I get it up and running right, and he wants me to stop over and share a beer when it's back on the street.

So the previous owner had his bike stolen twice.

Ride it like you stole it....oh wait
you did!

That would make for an awesome project bike.

I loooooove a triple.......

2 years ago I was flip flopping between a Sprint and an FZ1, the FZ1 won the battle.
That is until a few days ago, Saturday I am picking up a 2005 ST......

I have rode the one I am picking up many times and it is smooth as butter, steering input is a bit like work, but I am sure I will get used to it pretty quick.

It already has full OEM bags, and Corbin seat.....

First road trip will be about 3 weeks.....maybe a butt burner to Alabama
