Yeah I reckon, it's no slouch. The running in dyno with a worn out tyre shows 130bhp and previous ones were knocking 135bhp. Not actually sure the super sport cams are still in there though. The guys said they had been removed but the engine builder said they were still there so need to confirm. He's agreed to continue looking after it for the rebuilds so all good either way.
If I was keeping the triumph I would have done mine while it was stripped. Better cams, sort squish, profiled and finished crank and they are good for 135 apparently. And about 2 trackdays lol
I took to the Triumph a lot easier than the R6. The Triumph felt completely natural and I could thrash it straight off the Panigale but the R6 took a couple of days before I found some balance. The R6 should be pretty epic in the corners at Jerez I reckon, it's more rail like and stable in the fast corners whereas the Triumph feels like you can stick it anywhere but doesn't hold the line as well.
@bradders cheers mate only got back from a wet scotland few hours ago ive sent @tricolore a pm though.
You think that's expensive, look at this fokker !! I sold mine for £5k last year and I thought I was doing well. All their bikes are crazy prices. 1992 Ducati 900 Superlight Sports Mark1 Limited Edition investment rare | eBay
i think the hip word is patina,chips and age related marks are all part of a bikes history but to put a dirty bike in a showroom is not a good selling point.
and I've just taken a closer look at the pipes very crusty, Wonder what it will go for as it is £3500/4000 ?
