Triumph Question

[wildchild]

agree it's more f4I ish then a SS bike, I haven't had one but read up on them a bit for awhile. seem like good bikes with better comfort them a SS. find a triumph dealer first make sure they're available. our local one just closed. I had the Sprint ST and loved the bike. lots of compliments on it.
right hand went numb after 50 miles or so, they claim it was a standard "feature" on Triumphs. (may have just been on the triples) I just drummed my fingers to wake them up.
Triumphs overall reliability seems to be up but they do still get their occasional lemon.
for that price I'd go for it. after a good inspection of course.

There are a couple CLEAN ones around here. Like, less than 4000 miles. But those people are wanting like $4000.

As far as it being more of a F4i, doesnt bother me. Still gonna be fast a shit for the street. As a daily bike I'm looking non torture rack ergos, and I think this fits the bill. I will get into something hotter when I start getting to the track more....

We'll see though, riding season isnt much longer here in ohio, so I might talk myself into waiting, and saving up until very early spring.

I bought both of my bikes in February.
