So my thinking was to not overlook a cracking deal on a low mileage one just because it wasn't an R.
Then there's the round vs bug eye light preference when it comes to year models.
At some point I think triumph were offering an extras package of a flyscreen/seat cowel and other stuff which would of come free with the bike so don't be lead to believe by the seller that the bike should cost more with them.
Ah yes, the great round vs bug debate :lol
The first time I ever saw a twin round headlamp set-up on an unfaired bike I think was a Spondon custom-build in Bike magazine back in about 1982. Back then, I thought it looked the mutt's nuts. But I'm beginning to think that style has had it's day - Triumph have done it to death now, and I'm verging on preferring the later style. BUT.......the later style DEFINITELY needs the little screen to look right imo.
Weren't the Arrow cans also an optional extra at one point?
