My new toy
Sold the Triumph last week to thin down the number of bikes I own (was 5) & ended up seeing this on a Facebook selling page. This is my 3rd naked curvy, I can't leave them alone
25000 miles, 1999, looks mint, just hope it rides as well as she looks as I haven't taxed, or insured her yet. It was going to be track biased, but I think it's in far too good condition to do it, so may end up on the road. I only need a pointy now & I'll have the set

Re: My new toy
There are a couple of blemishes on the tank, but the engine cases & rest of the bike are absolutely stunning. It always makes me worried when they look this good, makes me think that there is something wrong deeper down lol

Re: My new toy
Wow, that made me look twice! My old 99 blue naked curvy had a similar fly screen but the buyer did not want it so it's gathering dust in my garage, and mine had the dark grey wheels. It's still getting MoT's so I know it's still on the road and I half wonder if it'll pop up on here in a similar thread one day. Enjoy it Col.

Re: My new toy
Took her for a short run this morning. Everything is spot on other than shaking her head over 50mph (Needs new tyres) & the rear brake travel is very excessive, so will take a look at it in due course. I could really do with getting rid of the Gladius now, I can see it just sitting there while I use the SV.
