Isn't the Pikes Peak bike half faired and with a screen?

Had a little tiny carbon screen.

As I finished writing that I realised the Multi is as you say a half faired bike so probably not the best example to bring up.

Nah, it's a crap example.

Go and have a think about what you've done.

One of the posters on PB Magazine forum works for a triumph dealer. They've taken delivery of their first RS

There are some nice little touches on the bike.

I nipped into Brum Triumph after dropping off the SX.

They've got the new RS in. I had a sit on it and a play with the screen.

It is a very nice piece of kit, very nice indeed. Loads of nice touches. It's been very well thought out. For the money it's an absolute bargain and that's before I've ridden it.

They're happy for me to take it out for a test ride once they've got it run in and done the first service.

I reckon I'll have one this time next year, probably the R model.

It does look good and doesn't have much in the way of competition.

That exhaust looks to be in an awkward spot re: the right side peg.

Come to think of it, when I sat on one I noticed the same thing...my foot wouldn't sit straight.

Who the hell designs these things??
