That's about it. A batch of the early ones had fluxxy spokes, like, Victor Devine fluxxing from new. The usual "that's owner abuse, that is, besides they all do that, and it's not doing that," from dealers, then Honda decided they'd better sort it out.
I take it yours has been OK? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I get your point but to me that is purely a reuse of the name rather than trying to cash in on the reputation of the original, which in Triumphs case was pretty crap.
The only thing the same with the Trophy is the name. It's more a progression using the same name as Ford did with the Cortina Mk 1-V. You showed Mk1 Trophy, below is Mk2 and mine is Mk3

The new Africa Twin is much more trying to be the original and failing in my eyes. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

I rode home from work this morning through Wokingham town centre and got caught up amongst about 40 Harley weekend warriors,full tassles etc.,including obligatory trike.Looked like the fucking Black Widows motorcycle gang.Just hope everyone in town realised i weren't with them.
Don't worry about looking a tit on an Africa Twin,it ain't nothing compared to that lot. ____________________ Current Bike - 2000 ZX-7R |

I agree with Fazer ( ) but with the added advantage that I've had a similar bike (Super Tenere) and I have to say that it is one of my most favourite of the bikes I've owned (after the GSX750 and the GPZ500).
I banged around London on it for a couple of years, it was fine in town and out on the motorway it gave pretty good head as well - but I'm not exactly the off roading type. Didn't bother me one bit. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |
