Need to test ride is first. Won't be commuting though - just for fun. It would be the 2017 model. But I'll be safe either way!

First job of mine was fitting crash bars, and always carrying spare clutch and brake handles, leant quickly.
Still can't get around to thinking no centre stand. One of mine had the chain adjusted 500ml or so, DID o'ring improoved a lot, shaft even better

Yes I will fit bungs too. It involved drilling a 2 inch hole in the fairing on this one! Maybe get the dealer to do it. It's prewired for a quickshifter too.

Oh, already got, ace.
Quickshift as the Triumph, as you op. the gear pedel de-clutch, used to find Honda close, and Renault cars where pretty good to until they went hitec

Sat on the r6 tonight. Extremely aggressive riding position. I can't test ride it as they haven't a demo bike. Then I sat on the mt10 (which is essentially a naked r1 retuned for more low down grunt) - 48 more bhp at 158bhp, and 1 litre over 600. Very comfy. Ran an insurance quote - it's £1000 a year less!!! £300 a year - bizarrely cheap. Immediately I'm swayed.

Then I sat on a ducati monster 1200r - still comfy, even more power, and insurance isn't too bad. I'm almost back at the drawing board, though ready to buy something stat.
