I would love a trip around the factory. I've just joined HMS Triumph and Triumph motorcycles are one of our best associates. Might have to nominate myself as liaison officer and swap a trip around a submarine for a trip around the factory!
mate works there :-) Very cool!!!! So no, not officially open yet ... we got a sneak preview along with quite a few others, mostly friends / family of employees i think.
So after a year of not making a decision ... this is what i decided upon. One of the first Z1000SX 2017 models with the led lights and fancy electronics - get it next week - can't wait to go out and scare myself daft.
meh.. it's ugly so it would be a no and my use, accept it or not, is commuting in traffic up to nutsack. The XSR was a great choice for that, tons of torque, light and nimble but i do feel like a dabble with the ohlins might be in my future and maybe braided hoses and better pads
the tyres are great in the dry but not great in the wet imo.. i do a lot of wet miles (you should see my lovely bike after 6 months )
is this a weekend toy? i love a 4 pot revver but it just doesnt suit my use
For me ... it's a weekday commuter and also a weekend toy on nicer days. My commute is A and B roads and most are well paved and at the times i go back and forth, nice and quiet. I'm not a nutter when it comes to bikes so most of the time, this will barely get tickled along whereas the CB500 needed its neck wringing a bit - time will tell which style I prefer.
