due to not having much fun on the sv after my off in january, done a few miles on it but couldent get back into the riding position ,i went out 2 weeks ago and got me slef a new toy ,bought it a day before i went on me hols ,so i was looking forward to be getting home before i went on hols ,just so i could get back to have a blast on the bike !!!:)

this is it !!!:laughat:

it has a few more miles on the clock than the old sv 16,700 miles but it has a full triumph service history ,i had a quick blast the day i bought it but needed a few bits and bobs doing to it ,like a good clean and polish

first impresion riding position more cumffy,lower seat height better for a short a*rse like me ,and no vibrations like the sv which was a major factor why i needed to change !!!:eek:

Rictus has got a blue one, I can safely say they move like plop off a stick :-)
They're a cracking bike, I've had Rictus's parked in my back yard and I actually like the look of them, they're a very pretty bike. SO ner Hovis ;-)



You do however need to get a good can for it, that one is absolutely mahoosive!
Happy trails on your new stead.

Indeed I do have the same model, and am throughly enjoying it myself, the Northolt Airfield day saw it well performing.

probably the best handling bike I've owned, OK a whizz 4 pot, but willing enough if kept on the boil and the rarity draws attention where ever it goes.

Cheers Mark.
