Beautiful bike but I couldn’t own or even ride one with my knees in my ears and my wrists folded backwards. Sadly the Le Mans was similar.
2022 Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro sadly gone due to ill health.
Now on a 2025 Triumph Scrambler 400X but may be fitter next year.

I think this thread amply demonstrates that "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"...

Sadly no pics of my 916 or any of the short kept road bikes that I've had over the years.
An ex girl freind had this though and it was much more fun than the 916, redlined at 14250 with very little below 10k

Things always look better once you've bought them, it's human nature.
