    My 1st bike with tech from this century

    Sold the SV. It was no fun on the streets due to it's riding position after turning into mostly a track bike. It was the 3rd SV I have owned. I also owned 2 ex500's and an older 955.

    Picked this up this week. It's really impressive all around and super comfortable. I'm sure it will handle the track days just fine as well. It's really got me itching to ride on the street again.

    thanks,

    haven't found anything I don't like yet.

    Could use some stomp grip or tech-spec for the tank. Not used to brakes that work this well!

    Hoping to make it to one of the Oct days.
    My day care fell through for the Sept days so need to be home with the wee one. Unless you have babysitting services while I am out on the track?

    Beautiful bike man. I was in a triumph dealership with my dad because he's looking at a Bonneville. I sat on a street triple and a 675 and they were both very nice. I can only imagine it rides as good as it feels.

    Triumph accessories are actually (mostly) very high quality, fit right and look good. Some of the pricing on the bits & bobs is high, but the majority is fair. Here's a link to the tank pad and a paint protection kit. Don't seem too bad.

    http://shop.triumphmotorcycles.com/V...ubber_Tank_Pad
    http://shop.triumphmotorcycles.com/P...on_Kit_-_Gloss

    They have LOADS of accessories for those bikes.
