It is nice but I couldn't work out what it was. I suppose counting the downpipes would have been a clue.

From the man that despises any Triumph bearing the logo where the tail of the "R" joins the "H" from the left hand side .... that's praise indeed.

Glad you've found another new ride kiwi - let us know how you get on with it.

I wouldn't go that far bud. They do make good bikes, it's just their ethics and marketing tactics are way out of line IMO. Anyway, won't get in to that argument now..lol. :smt003

Top bit of kit! Modern Triumphs are some of the best built bikes available at the moment.
