    I have ridden most bikes made but I have finally actually bought a Triumph.

    It's a bright yellow 94R with a low boy exhaust and a few other bits I believe on it.

    Fast, loud and proud.

    Had it a day - still alive :)

    Ha.. absolutely. I haven't even taken one which is unlike me.
    When I bought the Panigale I must have spent all day taking pictures. Older and wiser now.

    Hold on, will pop outside and take it LIVE... :)

    I am not sure of all the bits that came on this ex-demonstrator - perhaps you can help.
    Not touched the Ohlins but I suspect they are standard. Certainly, felt fine on my fast ride yesterday.
    As I become used to the bike, the weight if it has become a non-issue and, at speed, this bike is bloody good.
    It must have some decent torque as the riders with me on the ride-out were, if anything, struggling to keep up in the urban areas and I was often off the line first.
    However, come the motorway, they were edging away once into 3 figures.
    Oh, and the bike tops out at 141 - cough.

    i don't think they came with the bar end mirrors, as you still have original mirror brackets..i've got a set on order but i will be turning them the other way(towards the grips) they look a lot better that way.imo

    Hi Dougie do you mean the left bracket that had the old upright mirror has come out of in turning that 180 degrees ??? as you would not be able to alter r/h one because of fluid container being present.
