Very nice.

If I sell the 14 that bike is on my short list.

The 14's power is pure overkill but for some reason I like to know it's there even though I rarley use it

Congratulations on the new bike, sharp. Looks like you were at Gulf Beach in Milford. I'm near Walnut so I may see you around.

It's very similiar to the ZX in a lot of ways, just a bit more comfy and without the insane power. The power on the ZX is a blast even if you don't use it all the time.

That was Gulf Beach, I currently live in Branford, but my parents house, which I grew up in, is in the Devon area, so I'm there a lot to work on stuff.

I test rode one a while back. At 6'4" I felt pretty cramped. I really loved the bike otherwise.
Its just a matter of time before I have a Triumph in my garage. I hope that the new Trophy will be everything that I am looking for in a sport tourer. Now if they would just hurry up and release it.

Everything is relative to what you are accustomed to. I am 6'3" and am fine with the ergos. My previous bike was an R1150RS. the sprint has slightly higher pegs , but they can be easily changed.

I think proportions, frame size and roundness all play in to comfort also.
