    Great pics and looking forward to reading your ride review tomorrow. If it’s as light and nimble as the 675R (which it will be and some) then I imagine you’ll be going for a longer ride than you think.
    I used to get people telling me the same about only one headlight on my CBR600RR. Shame Triumph couldn’t fit symmetric LED lights but hey, when you’re riding it you won’t know!

    Triumph like a sticker I ask dealer to remove mine from the street triple 765 rs there not allowed HS and all that ha ha. I don’t think the front looks bulky or care about one light on but shame they didn’t go LED. Sure the the road going version will have them in 2021( run and hide)

    I was thinking the same
    Looks like they have found some old front ends :(
    But I suppose it’s about the engine, gears and handling

    Regardless of the engine gears and handling it's not rocket science to make the front end look more aggressive and sweet...ducati etc manage it. It wouldn't have needed much tweaking. Lovely bike apart from that. Think I'd have to park it back end facing me...bit like a bird with an ugly face but lovely arse as our Nige would analogise no doubt ;)

    There may indeed be a small role for you in the life of Lozzy .....as it seems the new Skoda with all its technology doesn't have footwell fairies....bit like every other car I've had o_O
    Although chewing gum does comes off the steering wheel easier :)

    You can check, if it’s magnetic it’s mild steel. Stainless steel (with the exception of 4series) isn’t.

    taje it back mate if you’re unsure. After dropping that amount of dollar you want it to be spot on

    For that amount of money for something supposedly special and limited in production I’d have dumped it right outside their showroom door and demanded my money back how can Triumph justify poor quality on a premium product

    it's still, in my opinion, a sub-standard finish for what is supposed to be a flagship product. I'll probably run some silver paint over it.[/QUOTE]

    For someone who likes a complaint email I’m surprised your putting up with that!
    You’ve been messed about with the delivery and about to paint and keep a sub standard bike? You must be going soft mate!

    it’s hardly sub standard? At the end of the day it holds the exhaust it’s a bush. The fixings look very nice not sure if there titanium?

    Do you know of anyone else who might have one Nigel to check?
    And these are Moto 2 bikes
    Do the Moto 2 boys care about the finish
