Hi, having followed for sometime and just booked my T120 in for recall work as result of this forum I thought it was about time I made it official. Having been on the Tiger 800 forum for five years and a change of Triumph now is the time for different topics.
Hello John and welcome to the Triumph Asylum - if the name is not immediately obvious, just hang around for while
Hi John boy, such a nice looker that bike. How many miles you done on it? Impressions? Oh, and welcome mate.
Hi, I've done about 1,400 miles and find it different compared to the Tiger 800 but no less fun. It has the best fuel consumption of any bike that I've owned, it says 66-67 mpg but working on fuel receipts it's about 63mpg. It's now getting a bit of welly and is quiet surprising when winding that throttle quickly how it picks up and goes. Find the front forks a bit harsh at times but handles well and the tyres seem fine although when slimmy I do use rain mode. Screen takes the wind blast off my chest and does not give helmet noise, time will tell if it keeps looking good, not sure if it will like the 5year Tiger traded in.
Hello John and welcome in to the Triumph Asylum - you've probably guessed already about the name ? Beautiful bike btw.
