My hubby (fondly referred to as K K Ken by Frank and Co:)) has had his eye on and been waiting for this bike to come out. (released in the UK in July)

He took one out for a test ride the other week and then we went out last Friday for a ride.

Well - I finally gave up my protests of "necessity" and gave him the nod to get one.
He is trading in his Bonneville for it which means he is going from 800 to 1600cc.

He is going to get the blue which is pretty nice.
Here is a pic of it.

Indeedy! Tell Ken that the next time I visit, I'm bringing a helmet and gloves. That's gonna be a trip riding that over the gravel to your house.

The guy at the bikeshop reckons it will be better because it is a belt drive. Mind you - a salesman will say anything.

Yeah - keeper of the chequebook!!
Tis a nice bike and I suppose he deserves a nice ride. Not saying that he hasn't got a good ride already:tu:D

Very nice. I always looked at the Triumphs on the showroom floor and admired them but I never took one for a spin. That's a nice ride. :tu
