Shit, that's the nail in the coffin there then. I shifted to street bikes because of an old break in my right hand coming back to haunt me.

I want to get off a bike and feel some kind of pain, otherwise it feels like I ain't been trying hard enough!) 200 mile range and will potter about if you want to no problems, just waft along on massive torque!

Riding position is a bit to sports like, throes your body weight towards the bars more than I can take, too much pressure on my dodgy hand and I'm in tears.

Oh you jammy bugger, can I come?

I love the engine and compact style of the Triple, but I think the SuperDuke would win out if I had a pocket full of freshly printed dosh.

Go for the triple, the engine is a stonker, I think it got rammed up the arse by something big (arctic probably) so the rear styling is not my fave, but I love Triumph Triples. Had a new Sprint ST 1050 and it was fabulous. Only sold it 'cosI just never used it - too many other bikes I guees. Traded it back in to GT's for an XT125 for my wife and the DR-Z for me. Would (will) have another, as soon as they are cheap enough for me NOT to have to justify spending that amount of dosh on somatt I never use.
Ref the styling, Zard make a low level pipe that transforms the way they look. Look at : www.t595.net for the dirt (very little) and the praise (mega lots).

So, what's the verdict mate, did the wallet get a battering, did a test ride come into things, do you have a fave, ain't the Speed Trip bloody small when you get up close?

Brixham in Torbay. Do get done to Capt Jaspers from time to time, will give you a shout next time eh?

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, I'm totally jealous mate.

I feel just the same about the upright riding position, on the XJR, it's just so settling, comfortable and confidence inspiring.

Does the Speed Trip feel as small to ride as it appears?

Is the SuperDuke as easy to wheelie as they say?

Please keep us informed with your progress mate, very interested to hear what you finally end up with.

I hear you on the service costs - this has better intervals than my busa tho, but hey its a high-days and holidays toy, I reckon I'll be doing 1 service per year.....

05 plate, 1 owner, 991 miles - he had a collection of bikes and traded this in for a harley something or other....

05 and 991 miles, only 9 miles till its run in then

my 10000 mile a year are pure pleasure, I get too much time off

brought my Daytona via dealer off a guy with who had few bikes, got it last june, 02 plate 3000 on clock, never been out in the wet till I got my hands on it

sold 5 months later with 8000 on clock and still in mint condition
