That looks really nice! What other colors are they thinking of adding to the 07 line up?

It may not be the best bike out there in any one specific category, but they're on my list of bikes to look into and Triumph's are just plain cool IMHO.

I heard for biktoberfest in Daytona you can sign up to take them out on the track on a test ride, anyone care to validate that?

I'm sure it did...


but in this test it was 3rd.

pick which ever test you like the most.... i happen to like how the master bike test is run. coming from cars i like to see lap times but truth is i won't ever ride a bike on a track so what are lap times really worth to me? in the long run, not much but its gives you something to talk about.


buy the bike you want...somewhere out there there's a mag that will tell you the one you picked is the best.
