There seems to be so many different models, I gather post-98 is generally recommended. Have you any pointers to models or faults? Cheers |

Re: Oddity
There were a few gearbox failures on one of the C models but generally they are fine if looked after.Id go for the newest one thats affordable,post 2000 E or F ones are well sorted.Great motorway munchers,with 50 MPG easy,and 60+ at legalish speeds.Sports touring rubber sees good tyre life too.Like most Kwaks the rear shock is a bit basic,but the old style front end is fine.

Get a 'tona!!!!! I had an '04 one and it was brilliant! The triple sounds awesome through a race can! the 955i was going for silly money not so long ago (silly as in cheapish)

Re: Oddity
And an 02 ZX9
The triumph def. has all of the trickest bits of kit... but I'm still torn.. Neither of them are going to win any beauty contests mind. |
