Nice looking bike.

Triumph makes them now and there is one of those in each of the three cylinders.

How times have changed.

g'day,

only with a picture of you on it.

The torque from that motor is pretty mad. 80-100 is instantaneous.

Lots of electronics on it, which will mean trips to the bmw technicians. There’s a light that comes up to tell you it’s due for a service etc etc. The tank is, I think, 16 litres, too small for my liking.

Looking under it I think it’s gunna be a pain to remove the wheels, nowhere to throw a jack under.

Good things. It goes like the clappers, seat height is low,gearbox is nice and the view from a riders perspective with those massive jugs hanging out the sides is a big winner in my book. I love flat twin beemers. Riding position is good, I’m not a fan of forwards so I liked where my feet sat. Also, the brakes are quite good.

Nice bike, but after riding it I’m pretty sure I will keep my heritage.

Nice little review Neale for the time you had on it and the fact that it was your mates bike.

Cheers

For about 15 km it's riding Nirvana before coming out on Mt Archer road. Got around the back of the storm and stayed dry.

Nah, my daughter flew up from down south for a few days, she took the pic as we rode back along the old railway line after the couple of schooners. I wanted to get her out on the Sportster, ride the 35 km up the valley to the start of the dirt with me on one of the Vics, but that didn't happen. I got to take her to the airport on the bike though. She's an excellent passenger, been on the back of bikes since her legs were long enough to reach pillion pegs on my old Norton, weve done a lot of miles together. 50 kms to school and back for 6 years, a couple of trips to Melbourne, lots to Bundaberg, a couple of rambles around the Central West of NSW visiting telescopes and bushranger sites.

She shouted fish and chips by the ocean near the airport. Was glad the ocean was still there, hadn't seen it for a couple of years.

Rather exxy, to buy, service, plus maintenance of all those Chickie babes that do throw their crutchless thingy's at ya . 

Ahh... to be 18 again, thought I was a coupla years ago, still getting over s/s knee replacement from that little motorcycle incident. Had a V4 in 84 -1984 that is -was busted doing 2 dollars and 10 cents, ahh.... wtf.  210kph. let off by an older, wizened, Sargent, saying he was 'going to get his speed gun checked', after a discussion on side of the highway, near turnoff to Warragal. Those were the days. Failed to mention the bike, in those days V4 Honda 1000. Fast , not long life engine , cams, and a 16 inch front wheel for ffs. Fixed fairing ala Road Glide.  A blast though.
