well finally went to pick up my new ride yesterday, been almost a year since my sv was stolen, so it was long overdue. It's a 97 triumph t595, pretty low miles and really clean. The gs officially becomes the wifes (again). so anyway, here she is.

thats a hot looking bike, but that exhaust and how close it is the rear tire looks kinda scary.

well i would tell you to have fun riding it but i know you will. ride safe.

Dang! You got shocks, pegs... lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?

girlracer, that's just an optical illusion.

try triumphrat.net
they have specific forums for the various models. early triumphs had issues. new S4's do to. I was looking at buying one before I bougth the 600rr.

that aftermarket underseat exhaust is awesome. nice buy.

Well after a couple of weeks of riding the triumph, I figured I'd commute on the gs yesterday just to change it up a bit. I was actually surprised at how good it felt to climb on her again. It made me realize how good of a city bike she really is. she felt so light and agile, so much different than the triumph. I really like the triumph, but the GS in traffic just feels quicker and so much more agile. anyway, just thought I would post my feelings. despite her shortcomings, I still think the GS is one awsome little machine.
