Mine was back when they were still carbureted but I never had any problems. I enjoyed it greatly for bouncing around town but was never into long rides on a bike. I'm a little over 6' so the bike definitely seemed small under me, which I like when tossing around a bike but might feel a little cramped on a long tour. Go take one for a spin a see how it feels to you.

I liked the looks of it when it came out, and when Moses posted the pictures of his, I got really interested.
I went and test rode one. Umm, yeah. That forever ended that itch. |

Just not my thing.
I've owned only Ducati and Japanese sports bikes for 30 years. Responsive, light and fun to ride stuff. The Triumph was to me just no fun to ride. Heavy, sluggish, clunky riding and shifting, poor handling and feel. To me, in person, it also didn't look as good, there's a lot of parts and things about it that looked and felt cheap to me. Of course, it's all relative, and personal (like all motorcycles really are - much moreso than even cars). To someone coming off a giant Harley or Goldwing, it's a sporty bike. Just not for me. I'm not a street racer by any means, but I do push my bikes harder than that Triumph likes to be pushed. |
