Had it out this afternoon for a couple of hours on some country roads. I've been used to riding faired bikes so it was fairly blustery at 80 or over. Runs very well. You have to watch what your doing with the throttle or it'll throw you on your arse. Nearly pulled a wheely when I first turned the throttle I've never done a wheely or even ever want to There's a good chance I might get the wheel up on this.
More than anything it is so light and flickable. Has enough power and acceleration for quick overtakes.
I think it sounds fine with the standard cans, loud enough for me anyway. |

Huzzah! At last.
Now we'll have to read about you going on like a child about how silly it is.
Have a look at SP Engineering cans btw. |

I had Leo Vince cans on mine. Very light, very loud and meaty and looked really good I thought, loved them.

For me, it was about owning my last hooligan bike. And what's a hooligan bike if it's going to be quiet? And they sound the nuts with decent cans, what with the intake and transmission sounds added in, all coming to a crescendo as you wind it on. Never had another bike that sounded quite like that.
Put the cans on, you wuss! ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

This thread is tempting me to rebel. |
Far be it for me to encourage behaviour that could end a marriage, but a Street Triple might be worth it ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
