I was basically astonished when I read that the new speed triple made 174 hp.

Thats more than the Rocket 2500. As light as it is, it must fly. More HP than the Ducati Diablo or Diavel.

Indeed, if it weren't a Triumph it's a bike I'd consider buying

Almost 8K. I did a 2600 mile round trip to Farragut TN in June including riding around the area with Craig H. Put a new tire on at 5K which is about all I get. I think the problem has something to do with my wrist heh heh.

I've never gotten any more than 5K out of Rocket rear. And I don't care

Yup, if you can't afford the tires, you can't afford the bike.

Stay off those rear brakes guys... This torquey engine does enough damage to the rear.

If you twist the right as hard as I do in the twisties then you'd better be hard on them brakes or you're off roading.

21,000km and 3-rear tires, and still running strong, was due for the brake bleed recall, and 2nd service 5000km ago, but the stealership can't get it in until the mid-end of August, might be due for my 3rd service at that point
