    Hi from Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire.
    I recently picked up this beast from The Barn Motorcycles near Buckingham. I've been biking since 1981 but never had a Triumph and not had a Naked since 1983. So looking forward to the new experience. I took the demonstator out from Blade Triumph in the Autumn and I was sold. Unfortunatly they wanted too much for their's but I found this one for about £1500 less. 68 reg, 2400 miles. Over the past 15 years I've owned a CBR600RR, GSX-R750K7 and a Ducati 848 Evo. I bought the Ducati as I fancied a change from the run of the mill Jap sports bike but found the riding position did my neck in. Hence the change to a comfy bike. I'm also keen on modern classics. I'm a VJMC member and have restored a CB400F, RD500LC and a VF500 over the past few years. I've sold the CB but still have the RD and my wife has the VF.
