Bye Bye KTM Hello....Trumpy

Well this what two trail bikes look like, when sold.

What a blast.
Went for a Triumph RAT ride and ended up riding this most of the day.
I was thinking about buying a Speed Triple and for some reason I kept going back to this bike.
1/ I did not want a Black bike as they have to be cleaned all of the time.
2/ I did not want a fairing as a naked bike can slow you down a bit.

So for those of you that are just use to seeing me on the KTM and Guzzi's.
And see a strange rider wave, it could just be me.

Wahoo! nice one!

Odd looking Guzzi! but great looking Trumpy. Thinking of any mods?
Enjoy

Nice mate. Same motor & colour as my Tiger.

As much as I like the street/speed triples, I think you have made the right choice with the Daytona.
The extra grunt, and wind protection will confirm that over the next few months of riding. Enjoy.

You'll love the triple.
The best bike engine out IMO, suits my riding perfectly.
They howl, rather than scream like an inline 4 when cranked out.

I dunno I know a guy thats got one and they are prone to getting flat tyres.

nice one, old man got the same model in yellow. it is alot more sporty than the older 955i. To me it felt strange getting on it as i'm so used to sitting upright on my bike
