When I took my Triumph Sprint 1050 to the dealer I purchased it from they offered me peanuts, they only want to sell new bikes.
Good luck with the new bike.
How's the 400/4 going?

Well done Pete but I did like the look of your white one.I did too Julie, but unfortunately they don't do the RS in Crystal white,
I adore the speed triple but made the mistake of taking out the Street when I was in getting the bike it's Mot,,it was love as soon as I moved off,everything just felt right,, and the quickshifter works seamlessly, I didn't get it until I tried it.weather permitting I'm even getting the train to staffordshire triumph and riding it back to Scotland, that's me done my yearly mileage in one go :-)

Took a test ride on a new Triumph Tiger GT PRO,,instantly smittenI test rode the same model at bulldog triumph in Reading. I ended up with a brand new pre registered Tiger 850 sport with a ‘free’ set of aluminium luggage. Very different to the Speedmaster I had before but no chrome or polished casings to keep clean so the theory is I will ride it more as I no longer fear a bit of moisture may tarnish the bike. Wry happy with it!

It had 1.6 miles on the clock after three months.
Traded it for a smaller 660 last year as I wanted back to the 120° engine.

I guess one is hidden by the red strap.

After 7 “traditional†Triumph triples (4x Sprint 955, Tiger 1050, 2x Tiger 800) I thought I’d try the cross plane 900.
Bulldog sold it to a guy who got washed away trying to cross a deep ford. The bike was written off.

I’d be interested to see how Mike gets on with the (pseudo) 270° engine.So far so good but only 250 miles ridden. I don’t have much to compare it with as previous bikes have all been twins back to my CB 250G5 in 1979. I did test the 660 tiger sport but didnt click with it. Will report back on how I get on.

Hacked off as went out for a run in the beautiful weather today; got home and the gear shifter knob fell off. Seems to have either not been properly welded to the shifter arm or mysteriously sheared through. 334 miles from new, let’s see how the warranty performs.😳😳

Are you refering to the short shaft on the front of the shifter that is usually has a rubber on it?

Oh Mike not a great start for the new bike - thank goodness it was nothing serious like a brake part.Yes, that’s the fella Ted
