Steve Mcqueen would love it
My ST was in for a service on Saturday so the dealer gave me this to play with for a couple of hours:-
Didn't like it at first, however then I slid my 4rse back a bit, bent my elbows and leant into the bars a bit more - what a laugh, made me want to go looking for hump back bridges to launch it off (it only had 250 miles on the clock though so thought I had better behave myself a bit) The exhaust is about £700 but worth every penny imho - sounded as loud as my SV1000 was with no baffles

Triumph do seem to be the ones for those style of bikes.

Re: Steve Mcqueen would love it
Hated it at first, compared to my Sprint however after 20 minutes absolutely loved it - blatting along country lanes at 'just over' the NSL was a riot

Re: Steve Mcqueen would love it
Yeah.. I like them. Was looking at the retro style Triumphs at the Scottish Bike show and quite liked them.
My brother recons you'd end up humin or whistling the great escape tune when you ride it. |
