Too much bike for the road, for me anyways. Let them make a smaller V4(600cc) lighter and more compact than current offerings and I'd be interested.

I concure! A V4 600 would be cool. :)

I have heard a roumer though that they might be making a super sport triple... Not sure how true that is though. I think they would be better goin for the V4 as its something different. Triumph are already doing the triple thing. :)

+1
I don't think a street triple wannabe would get too far.

Not my cuppa tea, but I'm glad there's little chance of someone asking me to fix one. I bet they're a right c***!

What makes you say that? Which sort of Fixing do you mean?

I know its mostly Rotax but my bike is very easy to wok on! Even I stripped the engine down to get to the oil bypas valve. Only issue I had was my own being a idiot and missreading but that was easily rectified.

Fixing, any sort of fixing... random servicing, owt!

Has there ever been an easy to work on V4?

TBH I dont think it will be that much worse than a V2... Its nice and compact from the looks of it but with it being narrow V you should be able to get to the top ends with the removal of just the Air box and TB's. At least you can on mine.

So tbh I think it would actually be pretty service friendly. :)

If you have the $$ to buy a RSV4 or an RC30 etc. I'm pretty sure you're not the kind of person who scratches about in the garage, changing their own spark plugs to save 50 quid at the dealers! :wink:
