Welcome to the site, Jim and Gary

Honestly Jim, these Triumphs are great, and I can't see any reason to go for anything bigger on this little island of ours.

Performance wise, mines stock, but it'll do an indicated 110mph two-up (admittedly, neither of us are what could be called obese). She'll sit all day at 80-90mph (still two-up, but with luggage for a weekend under canvas including tent).

Handling is fantastic for a cruiser, but not as good as a sportbike.

Test ride one, any other make of cruiser and you'll need over 1200cc to get similar performance IMO. But you still wont have the handling


Too old to die young, too ugly to leave a good looking corpse
