Musta fixed that ziener diode problem. Bully for them!

35k miles in 2 years, one speedo cable. Other than that it's started everytime, run's like a Swiss watch and been a genuine ball to ride in everything from a foot of snow to 100+ degrees, sea level to 5k feet, never a hiccup, paint, powdercoating and chrome still look like new, Best bike I ever owned.

I finally wore out the stock chain and just now ordered a set of sprockets from AFAM and a new D.I.D ZVM chain. Other than that it's been gas in the tank, push "start" and go.

Gee, kind of like an old Kawasaki.

It's nice to see an alternative to the UJM from the UK though. Who woulda thought?

Guess that ol' CNC has leveled the playing field some. Wonder why they don't make any "lightweight" stuff like an MX, dual sport, motard, etc. Would be nice to see someone racing in the dirt wearing a Triumph jersey.

i'ming guess you are refering to an '02 speed triple, but you neglected to specify what you ride

I've heard some rumors of a 650 or 800 speed triple, I bet that would be a blast too.

Only twins and triples? I thought the rocket was a four!?!

longride you were right seems like somone got the message about not playing in the inline 4 supersport market. Congrads longride you right! I and many other MOrons were dead wrong..

Yeah but that 4 cylinder Triumph of yours has a Suzuki motor or something like that in it, right?
