True, but it’s gonna get a whole lot worse when the itch starts!!!

I know what you mean about arse end, looks like an after thought, I never liked it on the Diavel either, what’s the point of hiding that stunning wheel, but I’m sure there is a fix...

Hmm - My definition of "Gran Turismo" and that Triumph have assigned differ radically.

Bloody long time since you were 21 thou mate, but being an 'aristocrat' you may make a good chaperone still if you hurry.

Me, I'd rather just be an 'Aristo' type 2.

aristo - Wiktionary
aristo (plural aristos)

  1. (informal) An aristocrat
  2. (slang, Nigeria) A wealthy man, especially married, who has sexual affairs with much younger women and spends money on them

Yeah, It looks a little confused about it's "orientation". Maybe wait a few years and see what it decides it's going to be. Too much of a "downstairs mix-up" going on right now for me.
 
Either model does nothing for me. I guess Triumph doesn't realize that fenders keep the bike clean and drier.
And with a smaller gas tank, I would think that your range would be cut down.
I won't make the same mistake that I made with my 98 Valkyrie, which was ever selling it.
I am keeping my 15 Tourer for as long as I can hold it up.
 
The smaller fuel tank is an issue for me, weird decision by triumph to put a relatively small fuel tank on the largest engine! Riding steady I’ll drain my Roadster full to fill in 140 miles!!!
 
When I drove 450 miles from home to Redmond Oregon in 9 hours in June I found out the hard way I have a bladder the size of a peanut so stopping every 100 plus miles is a necessity. It's not ideal but not a deal breaker. I don't understand the smaller tank ether but I do like the looks of the tank.
