Re: triumph thing
Is that a customer special loaded with performance parts or is that a showroom spec bike we can buy in the main stealers ?

Re: triumph thing
Fwiw we have had quite a lot of posts on 675.cc about those, in their numerous variants.
Almost universally positive responses across the board from the young racer types to the more seasoned lifetime bikers.

Re: triumph thing
It's OK I suppose....I 'get' the retro bike thing...and I like it too....but I just don't want one.
I tried a Thruxton once and it was laughably slow....that's fine if that's all you want, but it's not for me....I think the thing took about a fortnight to reach 100mph.
Nice colour.

Re: triumph thing
I'm generally not into retro bikes either and I do agree the shock does look out of place but somehow I really like the look of it all together, it's pieces of modern that we all expect and want from a bike
