Congrats amigo. What a unique style! Most makers go from a twin to an inline four, not many do the triple right?
Hope you have many safe happy miles with it!

Thanks! Yeah most go with a supersport inline 4, but for some reason I just fell out of love with them. The 2009+ Kawasaki zx-6r was a bike I was looking to get next but after learning about this Triumph I just forgot about it. I never thought I'd like a naked bike, but this thing just looked so damn good and sounded so fine I couldn't resist haha. I'm brand loyal to a point but if someone makes something I know I'll like you better believe I'm going to get it. Supersports just began to seem to focused on the track to me and that isn't the only thing I want my street bike to do. No saying it doesn't have a place on the street just didn't feel like the best option in my case, since I ride on the street a lot and do track days maybe once or twice a month.
Its really great though its like owning a naked supersport. I pay 1/3 the cost on insurance compared to a supersport, the bike was cheaper to buy, its more comfortable, still supersport light, and still has all the power and fun of a supersport. It handles amazing too, feels like it'll be right at home on the track. I think this bike is a keeper, it'll help tide me over till I can get one of the twins haha. Hope to have thousands of fun miles on it just like I had on the 250.
One day I'll be getting another 250 or 300 or whatever Kawasaki has by the time I'm ready to make a track machine. 250 racing is really fun and competitive.
