P/X the BMW 800 GT for a Triumph 800 sport today.

Happy new bike day and your very good health to enjoy.

Happy NBD, let us know how it goes

Nice, got to love a triple

Happy NBD

Nice, like the stealthy colours.

Looks nice that and the OE can is reasonable sized compared to a lot of the dustbins bikes have nowadays.

Nice looking bike! Enjoy!

Well its been a while , mainly as its done nothing but rain since i bought the bike, but finally took it for its first
service last week {£115} so not too bad.
The main thing i look for when buying a bike these days is comfort, my knackered joints mean my sport bike days
are long gone and the Triumph fits me very well . Its feels light and is narrow with wide bars .
Biggest surprise is the engine , for a revy engine it is very flexible . Will pull smoothly in 6th from 30mph no problem.
Has plenty of power and handles two up riding with ease. It a lovely smooth engine , clutch is light so i have not been
using the quick shifter but is does work well when i tried it. Brakes and suspension all good , although i may have
a play with the settings now its run in.
Happy with my purchase , good all rounder which should serve me well.

Were you in East Lothian today? Two English guys chatting bikes outside our local Aldi this evening and one had the exact bike down to colour.

No , I was in Yorkshire Dales.
