Cheers, 247, I saw them. Could you copy and paste them here too?

I am now pondering about trying another Triumph, the Thruxton as there was a tasty red one in the showroom at Action when I went for my ride. i know they are slow, but they look fabulous

My riding buddy of the last three years went for a test ride on the same bike at the same dealers, and although didn’t place an order there and then is now frantically saving up to get one next year. He also had to put in the fuel he used, he was though gone for two hours, well I BELIEVE HIM when he claimed he couldn’t find his way back! There are some STONKING reviews for this machine

I liked it, but I didn’t like the suspension and it felt like the brakes could be marginal.

Get your mate to join and post his views, they would make interesting reading

Yes Radar have already printed this Post out to give him a copy and he wanted to know the Forums Web Address, so he may soon become a new member (He rides an import 1991 VFR400 and an 04 Harley Davidson 883 Sportster)

Did I meet him at Lacon Childe Borders Classic show in 2006?

Look forward to him joing, an interesting set of bikes

[TT07]

Yes Radar thats the chap, will try to get him to join and assist him to start giving posts

Thanks for the “real world” road test bud.

I do love all of the ingredients in this machine, but your comments on the harsh suspension and feeble brakes are worrying.

Might just have to try one Radar.

Good read Radar. Shame it didn’t tickle your fancy

BIKE magazine (Dec 2007) have just road tested one and raved about it. Compared it to a FZ6, a Hornet, a Z750 and A GSR600. Came out on top. They raved about the engine, which I agree with 100%, but also heaped praise on the suspension and brakes which perplexes me slightly. Anyway hope it sells, good for UK manufacturing!

[Radar]

Triumph can’t make enough of these, sold old until June 2008 at least apparently

[imperialdata]

Imagine how many they’d have sold if they had sorted the brakes out!

[Radar]

A job for the 2009 model year perhaps?

[Radar]

Interesting to note that Triumph are launching an R model for 2009 that has uprated brakes and suspension, the two things that niggled me on my test run. Could be time for another go…
