Triumph Recalls Sprint GT, Tiger 800, and Tiger 800 XC for Top Box Problem

Triumph is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Sprint GT, Tiger 800 and Tiger 800 XC motorcycles manufactured from June 2010 through June 2011.



The top box locking handle is missing a clip on the locking mechanism and thus it is possible that the top box may detach from the machine.

Update: Fantastic Triumph Land Sped Racer

Update:  Just got a note from an ADV rider poster who wrote in.

Loadedagain of advrider here... I see you've got Tom Mellors silver bullet posted today. Just an FYI... He's got a 1000cc engine in it now. it ran in 2010 as a 1000cc bike....Ii was at his place a couple weekends ago... the crazy dude is going for 200mph in 2011! My bet is he'll make it.
Cheers, Colin

I bet he does too.  Thanks Colin!

I lifted this verbatim off of an ADV rider thread.  Just too cool

750MPS-PG class (750cc Modified Production pushrod, pump fuel [gas], partially streamlined — the front wheel must be visible for 180 degrees below the axle), 180.317mph


750MP-PG class (750cc Modified Production pushrod, pump fuel, with no bodywork, but with the rear fairing left on since it counts as being the seat), 159.905mph


Unbelievable numbers for a pushrod 750 on gasoline (remember Bonneville is a little over 4,300' in elevation). Tom put a lot of people on the trailer with those numbers. Gorgeous bike!

If I had half a brain I'd go buy one of these and never look back. Nice to see one being used correctly!

Thanks to Jamie LaMent for this beauty!

Seriously Upgraded Triumph Thruxton

I wonder what Triumph would have to charge for an Ohlins/Brembo/Marchesini equipped Thruxton?  Cause I'm pretty sure I'd want one!

few reviews about the 2010 Triumph Bonneville

Engine

The Bonneville features a fuel injection system designed for clean running and to meet Euro 3 legislation. The retro styling remains uncompromised though, as the fuel injectors are cleverly concealed by throttle bodies designed to look like traditional carbs. Polished alloy side covers come as standard on the new Bonneville.

Reader Ride. Another excellent Triumph Scrambler.

The pictures are a little on the small side but it's too nice not to post. I'm guessing from the message that came with the pictures that the bike is Italian. :)
