This looks like a possible upgrade for me. My ZX10R is getting long in the tooth now. Do you still have the bike and have you found any problems so far?
Still got it and using it a bit more regularly now…no problems so far, but still only has 2000 miles on it
I didn’t check the torque settings and went OTT by a lot…. it only needs 6Nm
Some torque figures are less than you might expect. What a bummer, harsh way to learn something
Good stuff. I must pop down to check out those strokers at CMC. Give me a shout on the next one.
Will do
Man, that looks cool
Unfortunately the fuel pump looks poo though!
That is a grade 1 bummer, hope the bit rocks up soon…
Thanks Don – glad my pain has raised a smile
.Your links were worth re-reading too
Just been watching Hutchy’s second win at the 2017 TT (got the highlights taped) after which they announced the deaths of three (3!) riders so far.
Puts it into perspective, doesn’t it…..But watching the TT brings back good memories – they’ve got a camera at Cronk-y-Voddy I see
The riders are incredible at the TT but they can pay the highest price sadly.
Good to see Cronk-y-voddy in the limelight…brought good memories as you say…

How is the healing process going?
Really sorry to hear you have had a tumble, but you have made me smile. I loved the Triumph incident and the picture of your bandaged finger is a genuine lol moment. I just it doesn’t hurt too much and you heal quickly
In the meantime here is my tale of woe…

If you fancy doing a direct comparison of a sports bike of the same vintage as your Triumph you’re more then welcome to take the Mille out for a spin.
Thanks Karl, that’s an interesting and tasty offer!
But I’m taking an enforced rest from bikes for the next couple of months, after tearing a ligament while crash testing someone else’s bike!
But when the cast is off ! might take you up on that: I should really see what the sports bike lark is all about!What have you been up to??? We have a section for crash stories too you know. Hope it wasn’t too drastic and your recovery is quick and uncomplicated.
This video clip really brings home just how quick the E90 is…

I followed a Tesla Model S on the way home yesterday – really quick, quiet and cool-looking….
A bike with no clutch would suit me now, as I’ve torn my UCL and can’t use my left hand for 6-8 weeks!
How on earth did you manage that?

Interesting review. Of course the 3 figures that you refer to as a speed is 69.9mph…
Good to see that Triumph are continuing to evolve the 1200. I see more of the 800 models on the road and I did wonder if that impact on the development of the 1200. Good that seems not to be the case
You really should try a sports bike sometime, they are a huge amount fun, although I think where you are based and the character of riding that you do that the Triumph is the right bike for you.
As for trading the 13 for a 17 it would be a big jump in cash and the improvement in capability is probably not worht that right now.
Keep the reviews coming!
