Slow burn....hmmm that's what Dr's and penicillin are for

I still cannot get over the awful semi-fender-plate holder, bloody hideous

True, but it’s gonna get a whole lot worse when the itch starts!!!

I know what you mean about arse end, looks like an after thought, I never liked it on the Diavel either, what’s the point of hiding that stunning wheel, but I’m sure there is a fix...

Hmm - My definition of "Gran Turismo" and that Triumph have assigned differ radically.

Bloody long time since you were 21 thou mate, but being an 'aristocrat' you may make a good chaperone still if you hurry.
Grand Tour - Wikipedia

Me, I'd rather just be an 'Aristo' type 2.

aristo - Wiktionary

aristo (plural aristos)

(informal) An aristocrat

(slang, Nigeria) A wealthy man, especially married, who has sexual affairs with much younger women and spends money on them

Yeah, It looks a little confused about it's "orientation". Maybe wait a few years and see what it decides it's going to be. Too much of a "downstairs mix-up" going on right now for me.

Sorry guys was ugly when I first saw it and hasn’t changed in my opinion which no one else cares about anyway

I am not going to even think about it for two more years then I might start looking at some "garage ornaments". That'll also give time for any bugs or Gremlins to become evident.

Either model does nothing for me. I guess Triumph doesn't realize that fenders keep the bike clean and drier.
And with a smaller gas tank, I would think that your range would be cut down.
I won't make the same mistake that I made with my 98 Valkyrie, which was ever selling it.
I am keeping my 15 Tourer for as long as I can hold it up.

worryingly the new GT is starting to take hold of me!!! Not sure what the draw is but something is making me twitch!!! Is anyone else having the slow burn!

Very interested, but like many here, must see up close.

The smaller fuel tank is an issue for me, weird decision by triumph to put a relatively small fuel tank on the largest engine! Riding steady I’ll drain my Roadster full to fill in 140 miles!!!

When I drove 450 miles from home to Redmond Oregon in 9 hours in June I found out the hard way I have a bladder the size of a peanut so stopping every 100 plus miles is a necessity. It's not ideal but not a deal breaker. I don't understand the smaller tank ether but I do like the looks of the tank. A picture of the American river confluence in Auburn and Mt.Shasta on my trip to Redmond.
