wow...glad to here you won, his bike isn't on the same playing field with other liter bikes, more sport tour than super bike. The only triumph that i have personally seen that impressed me is their new 600; one of the guys rode up on one a couple of weeks ago, and he really seemed to keep up with the other 600's in the group; Don't get me wrong, the euro bikes are very nice, and my next bike my very well be an aprilia or ducati, but I know going in that i'd be giving up so power for some sharper handling. Triumph has come a long ways, as have ducati and aprilia, but they just aren't in the same category with the big 3 (okay 4 but I hate yamaha);
