ModeratorIt is an inline triple, mounted in line in the frame too and has been packaged really well to give a low seat height. A couple of the glossy bike mags have covered it, but nobody has ridden it yet. It was at the bike show (see my post about the show in the General bit)and was attracting loads of interest.
Hope 2004 is a good one for you.July 25, 2004 at 12:54 pm #16862Fort
ParticipantOOops, did not see this thread!
Great bike.
Only 118.7 bhp at the rear wheel, in the MCN test, so getting 30 more soon.

ParticipantI was very impressed when we went out for a Blat with Scars, personally I think its one of the best cruisers going which has some poke to it!

ParticipantScardiuk, read this link. It looks as though you can take the catalyst out attach a new Triumph manifold and the engine management chip can be reprogrammed (by Triumph I guess). This will give give you a better exhaust note and also more power.
Be seen and be Safe!
