Swiss alps on triumph 675

i took a truimph 675 for a spin in the swiss alps. this bike has the sweetest sounding exhaust note that i just had to record it from the tank.
here is a video riding Grimsel Pass on a beautiful autumn day.
wish i had ridden the road once or twice more before i shot this, but you get the idea of how good this road is...

that road is freaking awesome, dam i envy u assholes who live there.

[helrado]

roads are fantastic, but closed half a year :(

[bluesjunior]

damn that intake whines horribly. nice exhaust note but that whining kills me. idk how you ride with that.

[helrado]

half deaf and good helmet helps, but think it can be reduced.

its an IL3 though not an IL4 - thats the whole point - its a 3 cyl not a 4 ;)

1st: I am not a mind reader so I can't tell you're german without you telling me so.

2nd: I do ride motorcicles here in Australia, I had a GSX-R 600 k4 now a Triumph 675 2007. Track day in Eastern Creek raceway once a month sometimes twice. My style? Yeah he rides well. I disagree with you that's all. Don't work yourself up because of that. And RIDE safe.

This bike (my FAV Triumph/British bike) sounds sort of like a 2-stroke meeting a 4-stroke when you give it a high amount of gas (petrol as the Aussies and Brits call it). It's bloody cool!!

[funkyrimpler]

this is the nicest modern bike triumph have made, but i love my Ducati to much to go back to an IL4. Am going around Europe thi ssummer though and this road is on my to do list!

I have the 08 675 and the whine isnt nearly as noticeable when you actually riding it. This camera was definitely picking up on it a lot more than what the reality is.

I tried a street triple 675 last february and it had a great sound but this motorbike has a very very bad sound... Has it got an another exaust??? anyway great video and driver!

And for all those saying that you shouldn't ride through the middle of the road? Well, you can go through life fearing death or you can go through life tempting it. One is safe and the other is a hell of a lot of fun. I've made my pick.
