So we had a small window of sunshine and I snuck the bike out for a spin and blow the cobwebs out. At the gas station a guy compliments me on the bike saying how he restored many Triumphs and that I did a good job restoring mine. I told him it's a 2009 and he left. I think if he was a restorer he could tell.

Nice bike! I rode a Speedmaster for a few days for a customer that couldn't pay their bill in a timely maner to keep the carbs fresh. Loved it. Only thing I would change is to have a 6th gear.

Mine is an '09 and there were 2 in the showroom, Now the dealer has them sold before he gets them and has a will call list for used ones. Pretty crazy but I guess I got mine at a good time.

Brookland green is a new color last year. I think I would like the old british racing green with yellow stripes combo better.

I'd be thrilled just to get one. At this point it could have Hello Kitty stickers all over it with a pink seat!

Thank you very much for the compliments. It was a basket case when I started. I got it as a bare frame with wheels. Over 80% is original paint that I hand rubbed and poslished to bring it back to life.

Dude that look identical to my old bike. Cherry red 80' GS450. Manual. Worked like a champ. only issue was it would peg itself at 4k rpms until it warmed up, then idle seeked unless the weather was warmer then 90 degrees. What a fun bike.

I'm new to motorcycles. I just picked up this 81 CB125R to play with and use as a pit bike at the track (I LOVE this style of bike):
Bad part is, this little dumb bike has me hooked. I've got motorcycle fever now. I'm currently looking for a full size bike now. The 64 sunroof bug project in the garage will have to take a back seat for a little while. lol
