Funky must have a different meaning back in the motherland. It wasn't meant to be a compliment!

You sound like future me to my daughter

It's not for sale anyway. Plus I prefer the Brutale over the Dragster.

I would touch that bike inappropriately.

Good find Kwacky.

Prefer the RR version of the Brutale.

On the subject of the disinterested Triumph dealer, get yourself up to the Stoke dealership and test ride their Street and Speed demos. Some great roads round there. Might try the Street myself.

There's a Triumph dealer in Stratford. Tony said they're pretty helpful.

I've taken up the offer from my Kwak dealer to try a few bikes. This Saturday I've got the z1000sx and the Versys 650 lined up. If they're available afterwards I can try the Versys 1000 and the zzr1400.

I really have no idea if I want to change or stick with my current z1000sx. A lot will depend on any offer. My bike's high mileage may mean it's not worth anything, in which case I'll use my money to freshen the bike up as well as upgrade the suspension.

I'll weigh up the costs of upgrading the SX against the costs of buying a new bike. That's if I like any of the bikes I try.
