Ok guys I know this isn't a Triumph site, but as you some of might know I recently got rid of my Daytona 650, basically being a bit short I struggled with the seat height for so long in the end it totally wrecked my confidence and I just gave up, however one bike has kept popping back into my head and I wondered of any of you had any experience of one of these
![]() I know mark (rictus) used to own one and it would be good if he could throw a bit of advice my way but have any others had one of these or knows any pitfalls etc, its the 900 sport model Im looking at getting, Thanks for looking Stew |

Haven't ridden one but Triumphs "modern classic" type bikes always tickle my twine

I'm 6 foot 1 and I struggle slightly with my D600, wide tank and wide seat seems to be the cause.
Personally, I'd get another daytona and lower it ![]() I love mine. |

my dads just bought a triumph t21 bathtub thing from 1962... think you'd get on pretty well with one of them

![]() Never owned one can just see it being my bike of choice if I live to an old age. Thinking about it though if it's for the vertically challenged the wideness of the seat may be an issue?
