I went to my local Triumph dealers yesterday where a mate works and was interested in buying my GSXS1000GT as I find myself riding it like Ive stolen it all the time and I doubt at my age I will last very long at that pace, they offered me a decent cash price for the bike
On arrival they had a 22 plate 350 mile Blue Tiger sport 660 with Panniers, Hand guards the bike is mint and to be honest does not look like its been ridden, I was admiring its size and blue colour when my mate said "take it out I bet your surprised" as I was doing nothing I thought it would be rude not to, and as it had a full tank of fuel it was a no brainer,
The dealer said take it for as long as you want we close at 5:30
So off I went, first 2 miles not over keen it was flat compared with the GSXS1000 after that I realised it was only a 660 and began to rev it a bit harder and got the feel for it, I have to say I was surprised it rode superbly plenty quick enough for my silly short commute and it could get a wriggle on when pushed, handling was really good and confidence inspiring especially with the road 5s to be honest there was nothing I did not like about the bike the sound was pure symphonic from the very smooth triple, I got back some 3 hours later and promptly bought the bike
I pick it up Saturday after having the 1st service done
top box rack fitted
Heated grips fitted
Quickshifter fitted
Bluetooth module fitted
Top box
and still come out with £880 cashback happy days that should calm me down on my 5:30 am 2 mile commute LOL
Hopefully I will keep this one, well for more than a month anyway !!
Ill post a couple of pictures when i collect it
