Performance,and elegance
So far so good as a 6'2 guy I'm amazed by his stability nd performance really really obsessed driving it . I'm literally using it for my everyday work now ya it's big with panniers but after removing it, it's really really a beast. Cruising at 100-120kmph still the stability is literally unmatched as a middle class born child it's my dream to own this beautiful bike from triumph
