I quite like it. Triumph have been quite clever hiding the rear suspension.

However from my point of view.

1. It's a twin.
2. Where does the woman go?
3. It's about 50hp down on what I would consider adequate.

Fair enough, and if you aren't out of pocket after a year, that's the important thing.

Hi mate, congrats on catching the bug is the first thing I would like to say.....forget all the assholes in here slating for no reason. I'm actually a new member of the scene myself and have got myself a little 125 suzuki gz to learn on however before I even sit my cbt I have to rebuild my bike. The day I bought it I picked it up in my van and took straight to my garage and stripped it completely (this has taken me since Nov doing eve/weekend bits) however the frame, swing arm and engine mount are now getting their powder coating and my engine and other components I am currently cleaning and restoring or replacing if necessary. I've chopped the rear of the frame and welded in the bar for my seat to attach to just litteraly need to decide what colour for the tank etc and put her back together......bobber for life mate 🤘

Lol you fucking hipster cunts make me laugh. Why don’t you learn some proper engineering skills instead of cutting the back loop off the frame. People like you are why we shouldn’t be allowed to modify bikes.

That's a rather stereotypical almost racist rant. Laughing

I'm sure there are nice Hipsters out there!

Bobbers seem like a good idea until you need to take beer somewhere.

That could be said for most bikes but my Goldwings had decent carrying capacity Thumbs Up

Step-thru mopeds are best, you can get a full slab on the footplate.

Dont make me go and find a picture of my fz 750 covered in camping gear with a crate of stella resting on the rear foot peg.

How many could you stack on a Lambretta that way. The mods win. Laughing
