Hello
My ride is a 2007 classic. I picked it up last summer with only 7k miles on it. I have added:
D & D pipes
corbin seat
handle bars from a H&D softail classic

I'm enjoying the ride.

Welcome to you too fatboy. I can't believe the low mileage on some of these bikes over there. An '07 with 7000 miles - that's about 20 miles a week. WTF. Hope you'll do better mate.

Aloha....old school triumph guy....just picked up a 2009 R3 with 298 miles on it a month or so ago.....just did my break in. Love the bike. Had tons of old triuphs/harleys/jap over the years.....this bike is a scream. First bike that actually gave a bit of a scare slapping gears in a long time....finding the torque can actually send me off the back if I am not holding on hard....I generaaly leave that little bit of fun for passangers..LOL. Anyhow, good to be here.

You think it is badazz in lower gears now? Just try installing a GIPro w ATRE. It only costs ~$150 but it unleashes the ponies that Triumph has detuned out of the motor in gears 1 2 and 3. I think the R3 is detuned %30 in low? With the GIPro you get the full hp and torque.

I have a lightly used one, in the original box with instructions and a new wiring harness for about half that price if you are interested...
