Had a go on a new triumph yesterday - A flat barred thruxton. Think they feel to all intents and purposes like an old 70s japanese bike. Heavy, questionable handling and crap brakes. It does make a nice noise but other than that the engine is very smooth and a bit characterless. Needs about 10hp more and 100lbs less and it would be a fun bike.
Fun ride over the mountains though - a friend of a friend turned up on a mint 48 BSA and looked like he was having a ball in the twisty bits.
