Here it is…. Picked it up today. I think it looks brilliant, it rides fabulously, loud, lumpy, torquey, vibey, a bit scary, and not hugely comfortable. Impractical. I love it. It’s definitely been kept somewhere damp with quite few...
Tested the Triumph 400x Scrambler. Decent roads for this one. Really sure footed. Straight up to 70 on the A3 then easy to 85. (170 MLS on the clock so no sudden pressure) It had more. No more vibration than my Alp. Cons: Fly by wire throttle...
