    Hi @Pedro1340, yes the 900 is running really well and it is a step up from the 660, but not as quick as the 1050 that I had.
    I have 30” inside leg and I’m 5’ 7”.
    I have the standard seat in the low position. I cannot get my feet flat, but manage ok on the balls of my feet, or one foot flat if I move slightly on the seat and the other foot on the peg. You can get a low seat which I did consider if I found the bike a bit tall for me. Up until now I’ve managed without one.

    Thanks Wessa, I was let down by Staffordshire for a street rs sa a change of direction may be the way to go.The 900 gt pro was always on my list,seeing yours in the colour I prefer and just the crash protection caught my attention. Got email from west coast glasgow this morning show the triumph offers,needless to say every other model gets some carrot dangled,the Tiger 900 gets 6.9% finance lol ,feck that,,cmon triumph gimme 2.9% and let's get something sorted :)

    My daughter bought her car by getting a 0% credit card and paying that off, obviously if necessary she switched to another 0% one if it wasn't completely paid and the term was running out ;)
    I used the same plan when I bought my Multistrada :p

    You still have to pay a transaction charge though don't you?
    Cheaper yes, but not cost free.

    Thats where flat rate looks so much better than apr as certain costs are omitted in the headline figure.
    Buyer beware and all that.

    You definitely do if you do a 0% balance transfer.

    Ha ha…. That 900 looks gorgeous, but then I’m biased :)

    Have you made your decision then?

    Thanks for the words of encouragement wessa,and also the pics of your Gt Pro, that's the deal signed, number plate sorted and insurance updated. Bike is getting picked up on Wednesday 2nd October,,forecast is rain:-(.
    Bikes going into the workshop to be pdi and low engine bars fitted.all I need to worry about is finding my way from Edinburgh Triumph, around the roadworks and detours and get on the M8 back to sunny Glasgow.
