Default Re: Look whats happened to my shiny trumpet

Update...Triumph sorted my damaged hub cover today, fair play to them
They offered me another bike to take out for a bit, so i opted for a street triple in white, well im impressed.
Revs really well, felt a bit small, it felt like i was on a bmx but i have never had so much fun on a bike, i loved it, where my sprint would be running out of revs, it was begging for more.
Doesnt feel as quick as the sprint but i dont think there's a lot in it tbh,

Some pics...

You like the seating position? Wide bars are ace.

oh yeah, but not too much cos it only had 800 miles on it
What a great bike though, good job i didnt test ride one of them before my sprint, it might have won.

The only thing i noticed, over a ton the lack of fairing becomes obvious

They are a lot of bike for the money as well, get one and join the sv trumpet club
