SHE's COME HOME! (I've got my bike back).

Cool. Something I need to get sorted, getting on the power earlier. Some corners I do some I dont... Maybe I do get on early... maybe I want to be on the power going into the corner. LOL. Its also confidence inspiring.

So you got to the edge of the tyre on it then? Sounds easy done. I might have to try and get a test ride on one. See how the engine compaires to the 1000 twin...

I just did , although to be fair if I had the option of using another sorted bike that was cheaper I probably would

Yeah but where is the fun in that, it only shows the engine flexibility in 6th and torque because of the extra 75cc......if you use the gears it isnt the quickest ss600 between those speeds, it only is if they were all sat in economy 6th gear, which they never will be, so dont be drawn into that illusion

Looking forwards to seeing the finished article though projects are always good.

lol, looks like we have a possible Triumph/honda fued about to start lol,
no the point i was making is that the engine is that flexible under strain that when its not its an outstanding performer,

oh yeah one other thing nick.. it weighs about the same as a BMX lol, forgot to add that lol

Triumph all the way Even if it's not a speed triple...

Im going to have to reduce my bikes weight. Some Oz wheels will do that... make it turn and look sexy too

Whats it like for comfort? Its not that nice to sit on when I have.

lol, it certainly toughens you up i will say that but its okay, you can get Gel seats for them anyway to less up the load, however i only weigh 9 stone so i rarely feel discomfort anyway as im quite bendy lol,
