Oh I should add, your bike is a cracker, and truth be told, if you were local to me I'd probably be interested, but your not, and I'm sick and tired travelling to see bikes.

Thanks for your feedback guys.
I know that I'll be accepting less than 2300 for it. But that's okay. Horses for courses I guess. Something is only worth what someone is prepared to pay.... but I know how much was put into it (well over a grand more). Pricing is difficult....spoke to two dealers who said they'd retail it at 2500 - 2600 given history, extras but more importantly paperwork.

I wait with baited breath! :)

Derek.... many Thanks. That was my starter book... The next one is much larger! Ha!

Flintock....prepare for a socially awkward trouser moment when you see it!

I was surprised how sporty the Exp felt when I took one out a few months ago. But the engine is the main feature..just pulls from nothing! A bit like my 'steamer',but in a more 'manic' way. In a way,Yamaha have complimented it by releasing their own. Shows how good the Triumph triple is! Hope it gives you 'miles of smiles' (thumbs)

Hey Threepot

Yeah....it's a big bike but felt almost like a race bike when on it. I couldn't believe how nimble it was.

I agree completely....the triple engine has always been Triumph's "ace card". For Yamaha to imitate it is quite a compliment!
