It’s growing on me!

worryingly the new GT is starting to take hold of me!!! Not sure what the draw is but something is making me twitch!!! Is anyone else having the slow burn!

A lil too modern for my tastes, but hey, if it speaks to you, 2500 cc is nothing to scoff at until the 3 litre version comes around Ride safe n enjoy!

Nah, just curious.

PS: 6th on the new bike is the same as 5th on the old bike

I reckon that be good news, because my 5th won't pull to as high a speed as my 4th.
Perhaps the new 6th will?

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!!!

That there is some piss poor MPG!
Mine sux when hooning, but I do get at least 170.

This smaller-tank business.... MAYBE the new bike will have better fuel consumption so it wouldn't be such an issue???

I was not that fussed on the TFC.

But the GT now thats a beauty of a bike.

Can't wait to see one. But I will never be able to afford to buy it. But I will test ride it just for the hell of it.

Ditto

Is your tune still restricted in 5th? Last week I was on the interstate following a Vette, and we were cruising 100-130, and a couple of short jaunts to 160. The Classic still had plenty of pull left in her.

Interesting. Tis definitely not restricted! Running CES & RamAir & loaded on a long trip, mine will bury the speedo. In 4th, I've hit 153 on GPS.

I wasn't fully loaded, no saddlebags just a backpack on the sissy bar and a duffel bag on the passenger seat. Using the phone for gps. 5th gear pulls hard from 100 to 160 and feels like it has plenty left.
