1050 Triple is better at NZ legal speeds.
Also easier to chuck around - Speed Triple like.
Anybody seen engine weights data?
One hell of a ride.

Yeah I love Speed Triples. Fuggin cool as bikes. Funny think with Busa's though I reckon...as sick as they are when on full noise, they're actually a big pussy cat and as easy as fuck to pootle round on I reckon. I couldn't tell you what either engine weights mate...but the busa is a big unit for sure.
One hell of a ride.
I meant like has anyone seen a page listing motorcycle engine weights. I seem to recall a quote from one somewhere, but time->mists.

It's a Triumph, that in itself is good enough! Hope you enjoy her for much longer than the Buzzi Guzzi...

Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behaviour does.
The metal is always nude.
Does it rock side to side at the lights though?

Mate I'm pleased to hear the TR6C is still in the garage as you were threatening to sell that at the time too. I'm sure you'll have fun on the new bike.
Cheers

Nope, but it still gets the birds wet.

What, it leaks oil like the Rena?

Obviously, you meant: "..all shim adjustable valves (apart from 5th Gen VFRs)".
62,000 MILES on my engine, and no shims required in the last 9 years.
Oh - and congratulations on the new ride, Paul! May you have very many happy years and thousands of truly enjoyable kilometers on your new toy!
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

From Guzzi to new Triumph,,,,there's going to be culture shock.
The most I've been able to do to my new bike is wipe it down an polish bits.
Stopped carrying tools.

Well after some 'difficulties' the great silver beast has appeared in the shed. Like the parsons egg its definately 'good in parts'. Its generally fabulous but I'm a little suspicious about its history. Not enough to actually care mind you - its everything I needed in a bike and I'm frankly thrilled to bits. Even Miss Vicki went phoaar.... Got to be good.
So - one ride around the block? Well lets talk about the bad stuff... Theres no handbook, well there might be one under the seat but I cant figure out to get it off... yet.... So what sort of oil? How do I alter the clock etc etc - usual stuff that will solve itself soon. It could do with a damn good clean but I'm unreasonable in that regard and trust me I will enjoy doing it.... The suspension? Um - yeah you could get yourself into bother with that - way to soft so we will adjust it for now and review replacements.
The good bits - I LIKE it.... It has ooooooodddddleees of what I need, comfort, power, and it feels like a rock at 100kph. It is exactly what we need right now - we will get it the way we want it and look out - we hope to square off a lot of tyres boringly trundling

Nice!
Extended summer tour more or less compulsory, there no?
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

Waiting for summer? um.... dont think I can wait that long
