Life long rider
By (I am an Owner) on May 17, 2010I'm 49 Yrs old and I have been riding bikes since I was 11. I have owned most brands of motorcycles sold hear in the states. This bike does everything it's advertised to do and does it with style. Granted any modern 650 sport bike will run circles around it but that's not what its for. It looks right, ... It handles right, it pulls right and fit and finish are exellent. The seat is narrow at the front and wide in the back making longer rides more enjoyable. Adjustible controle levers and properly set foot pegs round out the package.My only complaint was the sound. It's hard feeling like a cafe racer when your bike sounds like George Jetsen's bubble machine/flying car. Thank the greenies. After a quick muffler change and tune it sounds rite. I do think the fly screen should have been included in the price but ya can't have everything. When friends ask me why i ride a Triumph I always give the same answer. If it was cool enuf for Steve Mcqueen...

Cafe Racer...
By (I am an Owner) on May 20, 2009If you like the old school 60's era cafe racers then this bike is for you. It has a lot of power and the handling is great.
