Do you guys have any feedback on this bike/model. How long does a triumph motor goes before rebuilding? Thanks ------------------------------- 2004 Bonneville America 1997 Daytona t595 1998 Speed Triple t509 1997 Ducati M750

Cant see him going wrong with one.. Just woundering why he wants to sell the Duc? Dont like what you see??? Big red X in the top right of your screen will fix it!

He loes to ride, mostly canyons sweeping turns, kind of hard to keep up with him on my Bonneville America, but i keep up. ------------------------------- 2004 Bonneville America 1997 Daytona t595 1998 Speed Triple t509 1997 Ducati M750
