hello I was last on here about 4 or 5 years ago 2016 speed triple then a speed twin then I went to the dark side with aprilia v twins mille r and tuono factory v twin. still got them always fancied early speed triple just bought one 2010 bought unseen high mileage 26000 from super bike factory I know a lot of people will be cringing at the thought but hey ho haven't got it yet being delivered in two weeks it's bog standard will the silencers from a 2011 model fit hope to be back on here on a regular basis pretty soon.
Welcome back to the Triumph stable. Not sure why anyone would consider 26k on a 2010 bike high mileage. My 2012 ZZ has 39k on the clock and I consider that low mileage!
My RP has almost 16000 miles on and is just 3 years old. 26000 at15 years old equates to around 1750 miles per year. Hardly worth having a bike to use it for that mileage.
It could, of course, have been one of several machines in an owner's garage. At 3yrs old and it's first MOT my ZZR had just under 21k on the clock and was ridden all year round, weather permitting. Since then it usually gets SORNED for Winter when trail riding means the dirt bike gets more use. It's also taken a hit on Summer use since becoming a Triumph Classic owner in 2020 and clocked up less than 400m last year! The Triumph Scrambler bought March last year now has just under 6k. The Fireblade I bought in May 1993 and wrote off Sept '94 had done over 17k. That's probably the most I've ever done on a bike in that time frame. I just couldn't get enough of it!
@bob1 Really its what you think that maters. They are terrific bikes and if you keep up with the servicing they stay that way. The super bike factory i am a little dubious about. Had a couple of bikes from over the years both were not as they said they were.
