Those problem with Triumph are bad quality control totaly .the design is on par with the japa's ,but at least you can get decent service and parts with jap bikes .If you have problems with jap bikes its because those of you out there who tinker with things you dont know very little about cause them, or sell them on because you dont actually know or have the experience and tools to fix them properly.

I think that can be applied to any bike.

Here is my new toy.  :)

A member mentioned the 919 being like a GS but more of it.  I couldn't agree more.  I love the torque.  I feel much better armed against 80MPH DFW highway traffic.  I am loving it.  Stock aside from some slip on cans and a PC3.







Yep, pretty similar.

It is a nice bike man.  It had 6,200 miles on it when I bought it yesterday.

His already creaming and doesn't know it, in another thread foxtrot tango was talking bout the 919.
Some say that he submitted a $20000 expense claim for some gravel

And that if he'd write a letter of condolance he would at least spell your name right.

It took roughly .5 of a day for the color to grow on me.  In the sunlight it is absolutely beautiful.  Looks sweet under artificial light too.  Not so great in pictures.

Mister, thanks for the link.

Awesome bike!  Wish I could find one like that in my neck of the woods.

Rough Customer

Thanks man!  One thing I love about it is that every time I get on the GS it is even more fun.  The GS and the 919 really compliment each other.

What neck of the woods would you be in?

Gainesville, FL.  There is actually a fair amount of bikes to choose from on craigslist here in town but rarely a 919.

mister

Unless you ride one you'll never know just how good a jump from the gs500 the 919 really is. Of course I could be bias :-)
