Shhhwwweet Mark.

Nearly reminds me of my third yuff. The period of my life when I refused to get another bike, because I might have ended up with ... Well then again the second yuff end with a cx500

yeah, waited for something interesting to pass for that one.

not sure if it's me or whether the rear tyre seems a bit tall ? might have to play with the pressure a bit and the compression damping (set a bit hard) see what that does.

Still it's all good 200 miles now :p.

Cheers Mark.

That's one sweet bike!!! :cool: :cool: :cool:
I've always admired them.

Just wondering....does it handle like a sportbike???
(Or compared to the SV's handling) ???

Fully adjustable speedtriple suspension, and being Triumph it's real world stuff to, it'll out handle just about any other retro/cursier out there and a lot of modern stuff ( not quite as nimble as an SV, but more planted, so swings & roundabouts) even if it is 10 years old , but in reality it's no track tool (although I'd love to give it a go :D) just to heavy, more than good enough for the road though.

Cheers Mark.

I see you've been deer spotting along the way too......or was it too late in the day to find them. Did you manage to get out for sunrise like you wanted?? This really is good stuff:smt041, when ya seeing that pesky pyhsio?
