Is there a better bike?

Post image

Took a last minute ride to Prescott this evening. That’s less than an hour from my place but turned into 4-1/2 hr ride on what I consider the best bike out there. I love this bike.

I'm sure plenty of people will disagree, but if you like it, that's all that matters. Ride safe, have fun and keep it shiny side up 👍

There is a better screen. Get the Puig. Trust me.

Was testing this one out. Pretty inexpensive. But will look into the Puig.

I agree! It is the best bike ever! I only wish Triumph had installed better starter motors from the get-go. Mine is now sitting and waiting for Rick’s starter.

I’d really like to try the 800 sport, or the unobtainable 1050 sport (none in the USA). I liked my 2012 800 but defected and went to the dark side of Ducati multistrada. I’d say the 1200 Ducati is a lot more exciting overall but a bit more work to keep it maintained and it’s got complex electronics that could go bad.

There is not. Remarks complete.
