Has anyone else asked to themselves "why the heck did Triumph do that???"

[pete.triumph]

And why did they only put a 5 speed and not a 6 or 7 speed gear box ,,,,,,,hhhmmmm

i think 4 speed would be fine,who needs close ratio's on a torque monster

 

[pete.triumph]

All summer I've had bloody knuckles from skinning myself when I pull my keys from the ignition switch. What hell did Triumph make the windshield bracket so sharp???

no sharp metal on mine 06 classic touring screen, sounds like something not quite right about your screen brackets

Yep I'm content with the five speed we have

 

[Big Marty]

**** I got big hands & fly Screen never scum knuckles on any brackets with or with out gloves on.

And I'll get on the why band wagon, why no sixth gear, why no new model 3000cc, why not cheaper to buy, why oh bloody why, just got to learn to be happy with what you got.

Or you cloud be like a lot of captains that weren't happy with what they had and they done something about it with out all the "Why" crap.

I will now get of my soap box and go to bed.

7 speed! Heck' I can't find neutral between first and second

I think they should get the flasher switch closer to the thumb. So we can indicate our intentions with the clutch pulled.

Agree with the gears - I keep looking for sixth coz it has so much torque it could easly pull another gear. I think its under geared, Harley run a six speed box too though Harleys engine doesn't have the guts to pull sixth, its like an overdrive to it, got to be doing 70 when you slot it in.

Instead of sixth - although it could pull one easily - Triumph should just have thought about a gear indicator sooner. I love my GIPro. I know, I know, I should be able to count or work it out from the tacho, but why should I have to??

6th would be great. Why cruise on the h'way at 3K rpm when you could do it comfortably at 2-2.5?? Hard to fathom really.

And what the hell is the deal with the turn signal I cant reach it with my thumb......
