I have to agree it looks a bit tacky and bling

I personally like the gold forks. Would look even nicer with some gold wheels to set it off a treat  :b

Yeh thats the thing nothing else is gold, might look ok on a yellow bike.
I like bling and I dont think the gold looks tacky - it just dont go, thas why on my mock up pik i did it with silver forks

If the whole lot was gold it would still look tacky, but at least not out of place...

Out of interest Lock , have u ever ridden a street triple ( base or R )..similar engine, great handling ...as a comparison ??

me I aint excited about the MT styling , but the bigger engine( than a 675) sounds like its got some torque. A 1050 will out power it for sure, but an 800 should be more flickable...hence in the world of naked roadsters...MT could be the ideal mix ??  8)

I reckon this black one you have bought  looks less supermoto than the trick paint jobs, which would suit me more.

Never tried the triumph, purely because when I look at one it doesn't flick a switch with me.

Don't know why, but I'm a Yamaha man!

I thought the gen2 was flickable like an early Fazer 600 until I rode the MT and realised it was more agile than the FZ1 but felt as powerful. It's no 150mph machine like the gen2 but how often do you do that?

And it's a bit more upright than the gen2 which is good for my aging back:lol

Time will tell and a couple of Sunday morning blast's will either confirm my initial feelings or leave me feeling stupid!  :o
