I had one last season. It was an 05. Of the 15 or so bikes I've owned it was one of my favorites. +'s Comfy, fun, you stand out (when you own a gixxer 7 out of 10 guys you ride with are on a GSXR of some sort), 2 up is comfy, unique sound, single sided swing arm looks cool, you can ride with cruisers or sport bikes and dont get shit (even though I've never discriminated ridings riding but you know what I mean), good mix on torque and top end. Very fun bike! Oh last thing oil changes are easy! -'s Parts are $$$$$... Parts can be hard to come by depending on what mods you want to do. You need to pull your spark plugs out EVERY season and put antisieze on them (Triumphs in general are notorious for this). On top of that the number one plug is a real beotch to get to and make sure you hose down the wells with penetrating oil before you attempt to pull the plugs. Charging system is dated and it seems to take everything it has to get it to start. If you leave it outside bolts seem to corrode faster than other bikes. Changing the pipe's just make sure you put a PC3 and have it tuned. All in all its a great bike! Plenty of hooliganisim thats sure to bring a smile every time you crack the throttle! If you have any other questions shoot me a PM.
