That’s pretty much true as far as what it says. But in practice it’s easier to work on than an old KTM 990/950 though.

I'll let you know the things (minor) I don't like about mine. The foot pegs are fine around town but, I can feel the lip through my boots after a couple of hours. I've since replaced the pegs (Sprint Manufacturing) which has fixed that issue. I also find the seat uncomfortable after an hour or so of highway riding. Weirdly it doesn't bother me at all riding around town. I have a Corbin seat on order. Finally, lack of cruise control. Come on Triumph. You market this as a sports tourer. At least offer the option. Like I said, these are minor issues. I still love the TS660. |

The seat hasn't been a problem yet, but I can see that it would be on a long trip. The lack of CC kinda of annoys me, but I can't miss something I've never had on a bike before. I am hoping that someday they will add cruise if it hurts sales enough, shouldn't be out of the question with a throttle by wire bike. So far I am loving it! |

This is one of the more frivolous things I've done in my life....
I'm currently on a business trip from FL to WI in support of a USAF training exercise. In typical corporate fashion, my company got a total of 3 rental cars for the entire maintenance crew. Unless I want to go out drinking every night, I'm basically stuck at the hotel for the next 27 days without any transportation. Screw. That. I went out and bought my new-to-me 2016 Road King and told them to cancel my return flight.  Attached FileI now have transportation, and I should earn another Iron Butt patch on the ride home

One month away and 1137 miles to get home. I left WI on Thursday and pulled into the driveway on Friday. Made it back safely but I missed my Iron Butt by 2 hours due to the 100+ degree heat wave. I had to stop about every hour to hydrate and cool off—heat stroke is no joke and I’d rather get home safely than get another 1k patch.
But now I have a 1st world problem……it’s not ‘will I ride?’ It’s‘which one will I ride?’  Attached File(I swapped out the windshields and tour pack from the 07 to the 16 yesterday—color match is better than expected) |

IMO, Triumph will end up doing a 765 RS version of this bike with up-spec everything. It’s selling too well and they will want a piece of the FJ-09 market. That means cruise control, suspension, IMU electronics and at least cruise control if not radar based cruise control like the FJ has now. |

True, but it's can be very forgiving around town and commuting too, its all in what you give it! With a few fueling mods its really smooth on/off throttle and down low with lots of torque on tap all the time. But that violence is just a twist away!

My most recent acquisition, a 1988 Yamaha DT50LC. These were sold alongside the YSR50, which I had two of. This one only has 487 miles and doesn’t run so I am assuming carb problems and an easy fix. We’ll see:

When your hanging out at your friends machine shop, and someone gives him a old rolling chopper chassis.
It's actually street legal. Mass alcohol was involved. Harley transmission, and a 15 HP electric or rope start motor. His place looks like a motorcycle museum. His daily rider is a 1943 Indian.
