Title: Spirit Of 59
Post by: grog on Monday, 08 October 2018, 07:21 PM
Triumph competition on to win one of their bikes. Just need to test ride. Not sure if just Oz but worth a try. Go for it blokes. Id love a t120.

Not a huge fan of Triumphs but I was a fan of the 4 cylinder 1200 Daytona.

I wish they'd continued developing it instead of dropping it from the range.

just go for a ride on one Tony, might win it. Rockets are awesome, speed triple also and grunt from Bonnies, , quite amazing. riding 1200 bonny strangely gives feel of riding 14. maybe i had too many tablets that morn but same satisfying feeling. much close feel than gsx1000 or yam mt09. sort of easy if you get my drift.

Let me make sure l got this right. So everyone loves their1400. Then they need to sell or swap it for a Triumph. Sounds like moving from your own home to a rest home.

I've ridden a few of the new triumphs and they are nice bikes but for me it's a gsx1400 or 2 all the way.
:cheers:

I'm looking at H2's and H2-SX's.

I thought the 14 was the Rest home?

I'm looking for the Rave Tent!

Tony, when you get H2, i will be available to help. advice on headlight aim, rear shocks adjustment, removing pairs for extra power, throttle cable slack. will just need a tiny ride to work it all out. always available, just in case you need a hand.  :rofl2: :grin:

I like Tonys idea of the rave tent.
Not much chance  in Tauranga, we don't even have a Kawasaki dealer.
But if you want an electric push bike thats a different story......... :thumbs_down:
