    Stopped for a bacon bap. What a bike. I think lambchops YouTube review is spot on. Power everywhere but could do with a bit more noise. Does pop nicely though. So far enjoying every second of it and already had my laugh out loud “fuckin hell” moment in my helmet lol.

    Brilliant, congrats on collecting Sprocket.
    When you put the post on the other 'Woo Hoo' thread about Lamonster tidying up the rear end I thought that was your bike. Now realise that's in US
    Enjoy!!:cool:

    :joy: I'm alive and well. What a great day to take delivery. The main problem with this bike is that once you stop everyone wants to talk so you cant get away and ride. Dilli - you are going to have the women swooning over you mate. Luckily I am used to it so I was ok. Bike is excellent as you would expect. Triumph Plymouth did a great job and had all the bluetoothy stuff etc fitted. Luggage racks on back order but not too bothered. Only got those to keep Mrs owl happy.
    You get a nice Triumph back pack with the bike. Nice touch I thought. (should have been made of frikin gold really). All datatagged up plus a charging lead under the seat all fixed in
    Pro --- great riding position on the GT / acceleration to keep you grinning from ear to ear/ heated grips are fantastic as is the cruise control. Gearbox very smooth and love the foot forward controls. Pops well on deceleration
    Niggles - range of tank is 139 miles. Feck knows what is under that plastic but it isnt much! Slight vibration through the bars and mirrors -very slight./ Menu toggle close to indicators

    So far I am over the moon with it as you would expect. Didnt take pics as wanted to make the most of the day to ride. Out with Mrs Owl on Saturday so will get a pillion review then.

    One tip. Get your dealer to remove all the stickers and reflectors. There are friggin loads of them so Im glad I got them to do it.
