Thanks for the responses. If there wasn’t a lockdown I’d be able to test ride the triumph and compare it to my experience on the CB650R, but unfortunately that scene is gridlocked by the current lockdowns. That’s ideally what I’d like to do.

Used CB650R or New Trident 660? Hey guys, I’ve ridden various road bikes over the span of just over a decade and I’ve settled comfortably on the idea that my type of ride falls within the naked sport bike category. Most of my rides are within the city with the odd weekend jaunt in the country...

This thread makes my head hurt. Anywhere you bring up this discussion you’ll get different answers depending on the demographic it’s being presented to. I would love to see what demographic currently dominates this thread and with which side their opinions align.

Unless you’re Chuck Norris. I heard he went to a feminist rally and came back with his laundry folded and his lunch packed.

I'm around the OP's age and have four children. My wife is very understanding when it comes to me riding motorcycles because I've shown her that its just a hobby and family comes first. During the years between my second and fourth child, I found myself making excuses not to ride. The typical...

Rev matching while downshifting is usually required. I find going from 6 -> 5 doesn’t feel like it needs any sort of throttle input. The other gears definitely need throttle input if you’re downshifting from high speeds like when you’re exiting the freeway. I read all the comments here and I’m...

I don’t think a project bike is the way to go unless you love fixing broken things that don’t work. I went through this recently, sold my bike then bought another and it brought the excitement back immediately. I’ve actually gone through a few bikes this season and it’s definitely made things...

I wonder if the thief is a lurker on this forum and followed the OP's bike diary.

He can get them back by wearing @ssless leather chaps! :D

True with the F9.

I believe Tory said it was north of 200 km/h.
