Great bike. Those triples have an awesome powerband, an awesome sound, a very unique feel, and are completely bullet proof (except the ignition coils and sensor, which is a $30 part that takes about 10 minutes to change out. I have a 98 Sprint Sport and really enjoy it but wish it didn't have the forwad lean. The TBS bars are a in a great position though so it has all the positives without any of the negatives! Go for it and don't look back.
Also, Triumphrat has a very active community of folks with carburated Hinkley triples so any questions you may have or any issues that may come up they can support you with.
