ZRXOA #9170
Local dealer has sold both of theirs - one was in the window yesterday.
Nice looking kit with a tidy finish.
The seat - bar distance does look fairly short.
Looks like $21k on road.
No thanks. But I'm sure they will sell.
New Daytona please?
Wasn't even *that* negative but it caused ructions. When BIKE first got to ride the 1098 Ducati, it was at a track in Italy, they raved.
When next they got to ride it again in Europe on Alpine passes or whatever, they raved again.
Then they got it in England and reality intruded, they made some negative comments about comfort and riding in traffic and Ducati went hostile and threatened to pull their advertising. What is a sweet ride around Mugello or wherever could be a literal pain in the arse in an urban environment or on Brit B roads.
BIKE were also unkind about the comfort of the MV Brutale some years ago.
The bike that received the cruelest comments that I can recall was the FZ6. Continual arguments among the testers, none of whom even wanted to ride the bloody thing.
There was a comment along the lines, "We didn't think anybody actually made bad bikes anymore but.."
BIKE will probably still do an honest test - to an extent.
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
Love the look, and looking forward to riding one
Apparently goes much better than the 900 America (my last Triumph)
More torque, more BhP
Live long and prosper ……………… or ride a motorbike
No disrespect but that old America ...... poor effort, it always reminded me of a 80's Japanese factory custom.
New Bobber - fine job Triumph.
Let us know what you think.
