True.
The Triumph doesn't deserve to be on the same page as that baby.

You notice that too hah?

[avgas]

hey hey, wots wrong with Trumpy's?????????
At the end of the day they still work out the same as all the other bikes.
Been down the "Genuine Parts" road for all the major brands except for harley - and they all sucks goats eggs

Build quality isn't as good as it's cracked up to be.

Standard HD parts are quite cheap but after market are bloody exspensive.
Then again who buys standard HD parts.
I guess there's good reason the after market sells so well.
From what I've read this new Triumph may not have the best forks,brakes ect but is still handles as well if not better than it's jap counter parts.
Who cares,I reckon it's ugly.

[avgas]

Actually i found the brakes/suspension on the trumps really good on NZ roads. All the japanese bikes i felt were to 'race-spec' for ruffed up NZ roads.
dunno bout the zx10, but the R1, CBR1000 and GSXR riders i ride with have to stop every 30min cos the ruts in the road are killing them (me too).
As for build quality - what parts in particular you having problems with?
The only recall i know is on the 97 595 that was recalled cos someone complained that their was hairline fractures in the frame after crashing the bikes
I think John Bloor has done a good job to drag a dead motorcycle manufacturer back to life
Not that im sucking up so he'll give me a job or anything

Rumour has it you meet the nicest people on a Honda and rats ride Triumphs

so I guess it must be true

[Sensei]

HEY Avgas Try $4500 in repair's on my motor 4 Major blow up's . Big end's / 2 Head gaskets / Complete clutch ,springs / metal's /fiber's .4th gear broke in half at 170k's .Thats what i'm saying about build quality . Plus have a look at the welding on them its fucken shit . I have been weldig & teaching people to weld for over 22years. I did like my Speed Triple but they need to get their bike's up to 98% not 80% / As far as them handling as good as Jap stuff go's I think Al Borline of "Tool Time " put's it just right " I don't think so TIM " SENSEI

I agree, but after pulling my stepson ancilleries off after his crash I've think I have a fair idea of how they're put together. Certainly not worth the extra premium you pay for them IMHO. But each to there own.
