I reckon its an awesome bike. 200hp and 200 kg = 1000 hp / tonne

Im over sports bike now. Too aggressive riding position for my wrists. Dam plates. Any ride over 40 min hurts

That's the one.. Will prolly look at the black and silver.. Interesting choice you have gone

yeh surprisd myself too. Looking at some of the new litre bikes but none of them did anythign for me except the RSV4. Heck at 32000 for the factory model it wasnt going to happen any time soon. Plus my last Aprilia demonstrated crappy electronics..

Had a look at the Triumphs and fell in love with the retro cool. Rode the Bonneville, Scrambler and the Thruxton last which was the best one. Sporty ergos, eye catching and very rare on the road. Plus the big Twin crackle on decel...Got 2 complements in the first minute riding it home.

Plus it was a steal. Did I mention the sound?? Enough to make babies cry and pop soccer mum eardrums. The joy of simple motoring.
