Old Guys Rule
I'm a torque hound and really loved my 17 Roadster, but this new 20 is a torque beast!
Some initial thoughts:
This is 100% new bike. Almost nothing comes over from the old model. It is lower, narrower, shorter and lighter than its predecessor. Since this is my daily commuter bike, it is much easier to flick and weave through traffic.
I'm still getting used to the hydraulic clutch and coordinated breaks, but I can see why Triumph have made these improvements.
My favorite part so far? The transmission. The old tranny was like a tractor down-shifting into first. It was about the only thing on my old bike I didn't care for. The new one is so refined by comparison. It effortlessly shifts between gears.
