Just bought this to replace the RR8 :- I've not ridden it yet - looking forward to trying it out around the Dales. Still keeping the 13 Blade
You'll love it! They are great... Used to spend loads of time on my pals when away... Tbh, on the twisties it was rapid as fcuk. No issues keeping up with the lads on their sports bikes. Great bike! I'd have one tomorrow
You will find it totally different with that triple engine, good fun and loads of mods available, they handle really well in twisties, and with a good rider aboard they will keep up with any sports bike. The triumph 1050 engine is a big old lump but it's tried and tested and seems very robust. It's not as polished as the blade more of a hooligan, enjoy.
