Not sure about the ohlins. I can't see any accessory upgrade options either. I'd be tempted to swap over the Ohlins from my Street Twin. But as they stand I like to firm ride of the Speed2. The small tank means a fill up every 100 miles or so, so forces stretch breaks on long rides. I seriously need to get sell three of my bikes to buy one of these.
Hi Ade, original thought was that I would keep it making three in the garage, but I got a really good trade on my speedmaster, so sadly it had to go....... Wessa
One of my bugbears with a lot of the current Triumph range The Tiger was about the only option, for me, with a decent tank range...
Got to take one out on test. I was more interested in its handling than seeing what it would do, especially being a brand new bike. Very impressed with both despite keeping it at running in speeds . Will take it out again when the engines had a few hundred miles under its belt, but I’m pretty convinced I need one of these in the garage. However If some of the £3,500 lost trading my T120 against a Speed Twin was actually spent on the T120 it would be possible to end up with something rather special instead. .
Pal of mine has just traded in his Bonnie at our shop for one. Jealous? Me? ..... nah. ..... ..... feck, yes.
Colour? Accessories? Gonna need lots of pictures mate. btw, did you introduce yourself yet in the Newbies Hangout?
Will do guys, Fingers crossed it stays dry, ill post some pics and impressions when I've had a ride out
Think you'll be ok... weather forecast says rain arriving in the evening (hope I haven't now jinxed it). Nothing like the feeling of picking up a brand new bike. Enjoy! I have my bike in for a service tomorrow and reckon I'll be well jealous seeing everyone pick up their brand new bikes.
I agree. Once you pay a certain amount, I expect the bike to be sorted, especially the suspension. It has the same good looks of the Kawasaki 900, Great, standard motorcycle! I know they are not for everyone, but I love them.
I was lucky, got one straight away Been out on it all day today, and love it Need to give it a deep clean now I’ll give a full feedback report later
Ok, I just couldn't stop myself and have pulled the trigger and ordered today. Dealer estimates an April delivery, so hopefully not too long to wait. Went with just a few extras....V&H pipes, heated grips and the headlight bezel.
You won’t regret it I’m sure I went with heated grips, alloy chain guard, and the headlamp bezel (quality piece of kit) It sounds pretty good with the standard cans in my opinion, I was quite surprised. Think I’m going to go down the decat x pipe route, It should let a bit more character through even with standard pipes I hope Here’s a few pics
