 cruicky's recommendation | |
Because of the farward position of the pedals it is not easy to take some of the weight of your bum cheeks on a long journey (although the very comfy saddle compensates this somewhat).
Another slight negative is that the standard silencers are a tad quiet - on a bike like this we want to hear the ROAR so the investment in slashed silencers (Around £250 for Triumph originals) is well worth considering.
Very comfortable on long journeys, the power is delivered smoothly with no flat spots or peaks. Triumph have kept the nostalgic retro look without compromising on performance and reliability. For anyone who likes Brittish Motorcycling but are also drawn to the laid back American cruzer scene this bike is a must have, it not only looks good but with the addition of Triumph slashed silencers it sounds HOT too!
