I think the bike is crying out for a tail tidy Not sure if anyone does one as yet, do you guys know if one from another model may fit?
I got mine last week and have about 300 miles on it so far, what a great bike! Might like to upgrade the seat at some point although 100 miles go by without any real pain.
Yeah seat does feel a little firm after a while, but you do forget about it with all the smiles and miles that motor gives you
I test rode one from the nice people at Pure Triumph Woburn. Coming from a 900cc Street Scrambler I was familiar with the type of motor, lovely easy going twin with pull from any gear. The handling is amazing, it's a compact motorcycle with modern tyres and it just wants to go as fast as you like around corners. I am about 6foot and found the pegs higher than I'm used to, with slightly forward leaning ergonomics, but I got used to it and didn't feel uncomfortable, likewise suspension felt firm but not hard, nots so sure of the seat, it wasn't uncomfortable after an hours ride but might be for longer hauls. The best thing though is the way the engine spins up and just keeps going - fab!
Thanks for that review! I have yet to see one, in the flesh so to speak. It surely has kicked my imagination into high gear!
Hobbo. It amazes me that people go for the tail tidy. In my opinion it makes the bike look naked there. And get caught out in heavy rain and then look at the back of your jacket. Each to their own but not for me. Ride Safe Joe.
You may be on to something there, got caught in the rain today, and the back of the bike was really dirty, so any less of a tail tidy and it would have been worse! Having said that, not planning to ride in the rain much!
