BIKE, October 2006 have run a review of the first year of the new Triumph on sale. Some owners are reporting that unless you keep a close eye on engine level the motor can go pop. The BIKE long term test bike is having an engine rebuild. Sad to read this, as this looks a seriously brilliant bike to ride. However as the magazine went on to point out, Ducati for example are not noted for reliability and this has not stopped their bikes being hailed as icons.
