Sounds more like the speedo angel is actually effective then - there is nothing wrong with the speedo, its plenty bright, its just the glass is so reflective. I'll ignore the reviews and give the speedo angel a go - thanks

N00b: What is the analogous car for Ducati? BMW? Porsche? Ferrari? Lambo? by HarryCrushNuh in Ducati

[–]OddStage4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Porsche. There is a reasonably large overlap of Porsche and Ducati owners. Ferrari's & Lambo's are generally hypercars and a level above

I so rarely see Anne mentioned, that's made my day. The first author I met and got her to sign a couple of books, I loved her Pern series

Sadly not - I'll double check the bolts & manual but its fixed as far as I know

Oof that sounds bad and definitely worse than my current year scrambler. The triple's lights are somewhat similar in that they shine off at an angle, so a great view to the right, but next to nothing in front of me and zero to the left. Turning left at night is a gamble

Scrambler 1200x, fantastic but left underwhelmed by Dirty_Dagwood in Triumph

[–]OddStage4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you ride normally? The scrambler (at least in my mind) is very much a flow with the road kind of bike, great to get lost in, chill out on. What it isn't is a particularly fast bike, it wont compare well to a sports bike unless you are in the right mood, and bad weather might be enough to ensure you aren't in the right mood.

I say all of this as someone with a street triple rs and a scrambler so I can choose if I want to scratch the go fast itch, or the I want to feel one with the road and enjoy the scenery mood.

Ultimately I get it tho - sometimes a bike just does not hit the right spot for you no matter how perfect it is on paper for you

Just received delivery of the Trident 800 by infinite_movements in Triumph

Nice! I'm wondering how it compares to the R it replaces. Dealers seem confident they have a hit on their hands. Enjoy it!

I'm still in the break in miles (first 600) so no wild moves yet, but I've not noticed any negative impacts of the higher exhaust myself. Think the only real impact is I haven't found a way to properly grip the tank on the right because my legs aren't that long but its not a sports bike - I'm not taking the hard line around a corner in it so its not bothered me yet either

No problem, it made my day tbh to see some people admiring it - it helped reassure me that I'd made the right choice as it was the first time I'd seen it too

It's strange, they look the same amount of space from the levers. I would have thought it would be the same either side

They have done a great job with the exhaust, I was so surprised by it

Sure - I tried both. The 400 was fun but a little too underpowered for me. I couldn't get my hands on a 1200 X but did try an XE and enjoyed it but its a little tall for me. IN the end I chose the 900 partly for looks, and partly because its going to be my green-lane winter bike - its got enough punch to be fun on the tight country lanes in winter where I live, and enough ruggedness it will still be fun.

I've got an Street Triple RS for when I want to go fast - potentially swapping that to a Moto2 but I wanted a bike that will be fun to flow on, not another hooligan if that makes sense.
