Cool bike,,ride a Triumph Sprint ST myself!! But its a modern sport bike style though! I like the antique look with modern power plant!! A bit pricey for a 500cc thumper IMO. Funny thing though My first bike was a Triumph 250 single and moved up quickly to a BSA 500 single! Thumpers are a unique riding sensation!!
