I thought I waited long enough to buy mine. I am the type that never buys the first year except later as a collectors item like my 54 T-110. I waited until 05 to buy my SM and thought that was long enough to expose any inherent fault. Well now we have CDI failure expensive but I can live with that looming, warped rotors, while that hasn't effected my SM it is a cost I could absorb if need be. Now the starter issue scares me. I could never afford to fix that if it broke. If that were to happen and Triumph didn't take care of it for me I would probably never buy another and would do anything in my power to make it public that I had a known fault and Triumph did nothing to help. So far Triumph has been doing the right thing but how long will they continue to do so.


I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
