The torque produced by the 1200 engine is extraordinary- not just the headline figure of 82 ft-lbs but the way it delivers it from 2,500 rpm in all the way through the rev range, and although I’m keeping it below 4,000 for the first couple of hundred miles, big throttle openings produce big grins as I quickly shift up- braap braap braap it’s like a big moto crosser
The riding position is nigh on perfect for me, the handling neutral and confidence inspiring on the OE Pirelli Rosso Corsa III . There are lots of lovely touches: Brembo brakes, classy bar end mirrors and lovely clocks. All in all it feels like a quality package with none of the chintzy parts found on some of the other modern Triumphs ( fake Amals are a real bugbear of mine).
It came with the optional V&H pipes, I’ve added a tail tidy from Tec (still awaiting the back blacked 8”x6” plate) and removed the fork leg reflectors but I don’t think there’s anything else it needs. Very very happy with this purchase
