Gixxus Christ! Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 nice bike, i almost bought one a few years back but settled on the bandit 1200 instead. still wouldnt mind adding a brit triple to the stables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Congrats man! Welcome to club triple. Glad you took the leap. To me, they really are one of the best transition bikes between SS and tour. The 1050 is plenty capable for no more HP than it has, the torque really makes up for it, and I like the planted feel of it's rake/trail/wheelbase. Other than the infrequent euro quirps, they're really great bikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Just keep an eye on the regulator/rectifier and stator and battery. That's the weak link. Enjoy man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
