Haha, would be impressive! Not sure my insurance company would agree...
How about, if you find the details I'll try and find sufficient funds!

Your treading on thin ice there mister, they have a sexy ar$e! The twin pipes really finish it off. I didnt like to 3-1 arrow tho it spoilt the look so sold that and stuck with the arrow slip-ons.

I do agree the older trumpets are a bit 'big and ugly' tho

the backs are nice if they have the arrow's on!!! the back is like the Duc monsters which look nice IMO

The older ones do look frumpy, but not much more than the bikes at the time

Triumph Off Road. It's made by Triumph, or to be more exact made for Triumph, and it sounds fantastic. Really nice throaty roar, esp at about 8-10k rpm

*It might not be strictly road legal*
