    BREAKING NEWS:Harley Davidson closing a plant due to declining sales.

    Probably because there is not another marque quite as polarising about opinion as HD. I lived in the UK with the advent of the Evo HD's and know guys with HD's here in NZ. I've watched the growth of HD ownership, and sadly, the growth of the 'weekend 1%r 'attitude'. I guess like many others? I...

    BREAKING NEWS:Harley Davidson closing a plant due to declining sales.

    As a 'boomer' I think many HD owners 'attitude' has also had a lot to do with it. I do know a few guys who ARE HD riders!!, they ride year round, all weathers. Then there's the majority 'weekend 1%rs' who just trot out the 'advertising diatribe' about HD being the best, yada yada, and cop the...

    need help identifying age of an R3

    Hi Billy, it's OK, my skin is 'thick' lol. I also like the 'original' Valkyrie, but they are even thinner on the ground here {NZ}. I'm more interested in torque than outright power, hence a CB1300, and had a Yammy MT-01 stage 2+ before the Honda, massively torquey V twin, downside was it...

    need help identifying age of an R3

    Thanks sleeves, the one I'm mulling over is less than 30k, so really it's 'new' for a bike of this capacity. But I will keep an eye for other options, :)

    need help identifying age of an R3

    Hi 1olbull, I'm in Wellywood. The R3 isn't in Welly though, so I'm getting info before looking deeper. BRP are doing the 'Hardly Rideitson' thing to the dealers, and we lost the one in Welly because of. Once a replacement 'steed' is decided I'm getting rid of it and keeping a cruiser/tourer...

    need help identifying age of an R3

    hi R-III-R, my concern is I have read that even the black engines had an 'update' kit from Triumph. So it is likely that this will be a 2010 model {blue/blue} and all the issues were sorted out by then? It's done less than 30k km's so is almost new really. Thanks for the reply, being 'new' to...

    need help identifying age of an R3

    Hi folks, A 'wannabe' R3 owner here. I've been riding just on 44yrs, I've ridden all my adult life as 'transport' and had just about every make of bike and sizes up to a 1700cc MT-01 Yammy, and am now looking at a low km's R3. Having looked I found an advertised 2010 R3 tour, but having seen...
