Brilliant Ian. When are you taking delivery? Very much looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it once you’ve done a few miles. 👍
Cheers, Michael

Michael, believe it or not I ordered it last week with an estimated delivery for June!!! But it is priced right. It's a very free revving engine with a lovely (standard) exhaust note. The performance for me belies the figures that Triumph give out. It is light and very "flickable". First and second gear are quite low so I could be investing in a change of sprocket size. The brakes are more than up to the job. The standard of finish is excellent. Pirelli tyres. All in all a no brainer for me. Staffordshire Triumph also gave me an unbeatable offer on the SRX, so all in all one happy bunny🐇👍

Sounds like a cracking little bike Ian. June delivery.. wow, soon come round though I suppose.
 I’ll have to call in to my local dealer for a free coffee and have a look at one in the flesh. What colour are you going for?
I assume you still an SRX even though you’ve gone for the part ex with one? 👍

Blue one Michael. If I wanted another colour there has to be a swap done with another dealer apparently. I believe they sold 3 including mine last weekend.
That's the last of the SRXs.

Wow.. the last of your SRX’s. Still looks like you’ve picked a cracking substitute with the triumph.
Roll on summer eh 👍👍

That is a lovely looking bike and very tempting, lots of miles to enjoy on it I bet. I was interested by the dealer taking your SRX in part-ex, must be a good dealer. When I made a tentative inquiry at CMC in Clay Cross about trading my Inazuma they just weren't interested, not their kind of bike or something.

Roll on June.

Nice choice of bike that. Light and pretty darn nippy. They look lovely in the flesh.

Yes I’m definitely looking forward to nipping on to my local dealership and having a look at one.

What cool little rig that is Ian. I definitely fancy having a test ride on one at some point. Bet they’re great on the little back lanes 👍
Hope you have many happy miles riding it 🤞
Cheers, Michael
