I love my Triumphs too...
« on: January 08, 2009, 10:24:22 AM »
Here's what's in my barn.

The Sprint ST is my daily rider (23k miles in 18 months)
The Daytona 900 sounds gorgeous but is a bit big and heavy
The Daytona 1000 is the Triumph factory test bike that went to MCN etc. I have a video (by Duke) where Chris Dabbs drops it on the IOM during a test ride with Keith Heuwen.
The Trident Sprint is great, a real mile muncher.
The Trophy is horrible!

Not all my bikes; just live here.

I've still got my first bike, a Kh125 F reg, in ratty form but that's how I got it and it will hopefully stay that way. I've a pair of cb550 baskett cases and a pair of cb500/4s in similar poor shape, plus a rideable but ratty original cb500/5 sidecar and an abiding hatred of my 2 BMW airhead boxers of 1970's vintage that handle well but seem to cost too much to run compared to the good old honda 4.
There, I've confessed my sins of non honda ownership, oh yes finally, there lurks a Suzuki DR125 in the shed, very much a project. I'll go hang my head in shame now............
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock
