Got to Snells at 11, left at 1215, not one bike gone....but apparently they were queuing at 0900 this morning! Never saw any new bikes out today either
Left here at 7:30, bloody freezing n crappy gritted roads. Was at OYB at 9am. He got his bike n I followed him back, must admit it sounded lovely with the Termi's on. I then spent 2hrs getting the crud off, bloody salt was sitting on top of salt.
Put 120 miles on around the Derbyshire Peaks today after collecting Then took a ride to Mallory Park's open day and bagged a crafty ride round the track at the end of the day Apologies its not a Ducati :wink:
Not a looker like my Ducati was..... but have every confidence it will spend more time in my garage than the Ducati, which spent most of its first 12 months at the dealer having its warranty failures fixed.
What's it like that triumph ... With 3 cyl 800cc is it pretty revvy , think they have copied the gs 800 somewhat , enjoy your new bike
Engine is very much like the 675 Daytona / Street engine. They have just lengthened the stroke to to take the cc up to 800. Gives a bit less overall power but more low down grunt.... not as revvy but sill loads more fun than the BMW 800 which I have tried. Still miss the 1198 V twin power :frown:
Yeah longer stroke makes torque, i like the look of that triumph ........looks like a bike you could do a few miles on . I hear folk saying the gs 800 motor is bad but im not sure ........ i had a 59 plate gs 800 and in all fairness it was ok, it lacked a bit of 'madness ' but i wouldnt say its a bad engine ........ bloody good on fuel .....70 mpg going steady
