    Hello all.
    Just become a Triumph tiger 660 sport owner or rather I will on Saturday 10th December when I pick it up.
    22 reg Ex demo at a price I was happy with and I’m having quite a few extras added.
    Rode one at the motorcycle live at Birmingham in November and then later that week a Yamaha tracer 7GT.
    Decided on the 660.
    Let’s hope I’ve made the right choice.
    Everyone happy with there’s or not?
    Rodders1949.

    Just bought this 2006 Scrambler with 5,200 miles on it.
    Delivery will be somewhere in early January.
    Looking for an Arrow exhaust to install if anyone has one for sale

    Howdy yashko51 :cool: you probably haven't had much reaction to your post as you added to someone else's intro, start your own thread and more people will see it ;)

    Managed to pick it up earlier as today was looking decidedly iffy on the roads.
    Even though it was a bit dodgy underfoot the bike with its traction control and abs behaved beautifully.
    Somewhat taller than my previous BMW F800ST and this one requires standing on the foot peg to mount with me being 5’7”.
    Great at low speed unlike the BMW, that was a pain at low speed till I had a rapid bike evo fitted.
    You’d need to look that up, it’s a bit like a remap but not.
    It must be pretty bad for tomorrow too cos my club (CWAM) have cancelled the club meet.
