    Hi newbie here to the forum and first time owner of a triumph bike, something i been aiming to do for many years, purchased a street cup which i pick up 26th aug, after my hol. Always loved the old style and tthe cafe look. So bit the bullet and bought, im a 1972 landrover series3 owner so didnt want at this time something id need to work on just want a bike to start, ride and clean. The landy tinkering has done me for the moment lol. Maybe in time ill look at the older stuff and something to restore maybe.

    Cant wait.

    that's my only worry with the bars and my old back lol, part of why I chose the cup over the thruxton as I was informed they not as low and riding position is a bit more forgiving, I will change bars if I find it a bit hunched over.

    Welcome to the family. Lovely looking machine you are going to have there. Think you will love it. And my 2018 900 isn't to bend over atall mater of fact I love the riding position. I have a small fairing on mine to keep the wind of my face and its great.
    Regards
    Joe.
