Considering you need a 34 inch inseam to balance the triumph at a red light and have display graphics from 2007 I would say that the bmw is still ahead even if it cost more.

Hi simulacrum you must have been watching some one else as I didn't have a graphic on mine. But if you feel the bmw is the bike for you than injoy it and I hope you get one free of all the problems they are having at the moment. Cheers Wayne.

I've got the same bike. Absolutely loving it. If you want to do anything more adventurous off road, you'll want to get rid of those tires. I'm putting Motoz Tractionators on mine. Those Karoos made me feel like I was riding on marbles on a gravel road. Interesting thing about these bikes...that glorious intake sound you hear when you crack it wide open, is just for you. Nobody else can hear that. The sound is directed straight at you. I've mentioned that sound to my riding buddies and they have no idea what I'm talking about. Perhaps that's a good thing. Safe riding, mate! And get rid of all those bloody warning decals. 🙂

i must be old because when the blackbird came out i thought it was hideous and the hurricane looked better. similarly i thought the hayabusa was hideous (still do) and that the older zx11d looked much better. btw- i was a suzuki guy for about 30 years.
@turboboy07 ай бұрын
you were supposed to do a MASSIVE BURNOUT before changing tires. it is disrespectful to the tire otherwise. i personally never had to do that because i ride my motorcycles. 32 years of riding, 10 different motorcycles and always had a worn out rear tire (without burnouts). currently impressed with the Shinko Apex 010 tires i put on my kawasaki ZX14R because the rear has over 2100 miles and still looks almost new.

Why were you using the clutch going up gears?? They have quick shift going up gears. Just need to use it going down. They also have adjustable suspension. Sports, normal. Etc button on the right handlebar adjusts.

Fuel injectors do not cope well with broken down fuel. I had this happen with my '99 'bird that hadn't been run for 6 years. Completely refurbed the entire fuel system. Premium unleaded breaks down into something akin to seawater.

Great work! The bike looks new again. I finished rebuilding a 1991 FZR1000. It took a long time. The garage also has a clean blue and white 1989 GSXR 1100 that I picked up locally. I am currently working on a red and white 1989 GSXR 750. Very difficult to find parts. Please let me know if you can locate a rear wheel fender. A Japanese parts seller has two, very expensive and not the right ones for the screw mounts. Anyway, your attention to detail gives us inspiration to complete the job. Thank you.
