I am in love.



Ohlins NIX30 fork and a TTX36 shock... carbon fiber bits. And triumph usually runs specials where you can get accessories free (right now it's an exhaust, shorty levers, etc)

Come wintertime when dealers are getting rid of stuff, I'm gonna find one.

I love this motorcycle. I got a chance to ride the regular version, and it's amazing. Plus I've never purchased a brand new bike.

So, keep an eye open. I'm going to continue to upgrade my low mileage VTR through this track season. Then it'll be coming up here for sale :-)

No opinions? Dang.

Not a triumph forum, i know :-)

Am i a traitor for considering selling my hawk?

you guys don't love me now?

ROFL

I have read they are great bikes. Maintains the theme of more torque per cc than the inline designs. But it still must be quite a drop in torque from the SH. I'm sure handling wise there is no comparison - should be fun. there were some engine issues on earlier models but I'm guessing you researched those and they are fixed.

Don't tell anyone but that's one of my favorite bikes too. lol

thefitzvh

Yeah i heard they've sorted most of the engine issues out.

My BRAIN tells me to find a lightly used model, save some cash.

My HEART tells me: I've never owned a brand new bike, and the ohlins bits are TOO damn sexy.

Sigh.

I hate motorcycles.

mikstr

definitely a keeper, although I can't help but wonder how the new Agusta F3 will stack up (same displacement)....

We're in love with the same woman damn it! Had I have had the cash flow this year that would be sitting in my garage.. They're offering the Arrow full exhaust and other goodies to get rid of the 2010's.. I'd take mine in the red.. sexiest bike on the streets right now.. IMO..

thefitzvh

I want the R model, so I guess I won't get to take advantage of the free Arrow exhaust offer. But I'd be fine with buying it.

I hear from the triumph forums that when you get the arrow option they install a custom map for it as well

I've been a fan of Triumph (see my sig), quality build and components, very usable torque, and a triple exhaust note unlike any other. I like 'hawks and BMWs too, there's room for all of them in my world......

Beautiful bike with nice bits. I'm wondering if they're ever going to make something in the liter range, other than the 1050's. That bike actually has almost as much power (125hp I believe) and it is light. I'm sure it's an amazing tack bike.

Sweet bike. You know what is funny though, our local Subaru dealer just started selling Triumph motorcycles and another local Dodge dealer is selling BMW motorcycles. There was also a really cool looking BMW sportbike they had displayed. Does car dealers selling bikes seem strange to anyone, or is this how it is everywhere?

We have a car dealer here that has tried to sell used Hardley's for a few years. They don't seem to have much luck with it.
