Triumph 1050 Striple vs Gen1 (modded)
#1
'That's the most sorted bike i have ever ridden, absolutely phenominal!'

'i can't beleive i bought this when i could have one of these. :'( '

just a few of the comments of the striple owner after i let him loose on my bike today :lol

he's a former gen2 owner but didn't gel with it and somehow has managed to avoid having a go on my bike for the last 18 months.

unfortunately i had to ride his bike as well.

good points
bottom end/midrange
the noise
the ergonomics

bad points
stupid lights on the rev counter
front brake is either on or off
suspension was 'crude'.......if i'm kind
stupid fly screen wobbling around at 'ahem' 50+
park bench seat.
the mirrors

unforgivable points
the back brake was weaker than a lib-dems handshake

and a top gear roll on from 50 has the triumph ahead by a couple of yards until the fazer hits 4k, then it's bye bye.
The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money!
