Thanks everyone. I still have a smile on my face. I sat there last night staring at it, not believing i have a Ducati. Definitely a whole nother world from the previous i4 and v4 bikes i owned. Its pulsey and grunty. It just oozes character. And with the pipes... man. But dont let anyone tell you this is a beginners bike. It may be easy to ride around town, but i went on a night ride with my buddy and i gave it maybe a 2/3rds throttle yank through gear 4 and it started lifting the front through every gear. I was shocked. I want to know what the stroked 796 motor would have felt like....
He said they dont carry a test fleet because its not cost efficient. They said the last time they got Triumphs test fleet for a weekend, it yielded a whopping 0 sales that entire weekend....

I'm not doubting the bike just the color.
