Nice to see some Triumphs in the lists  ;D  That Triumph Daytona 650 was a great bike, not so Herm?

Edgy - I found the 955i Sprints (was yours RS or ST?) to be quite tame...?

I think once you've had one/owned one, it's hard to get them out of you're system. I think this on a thread elsewhere, but the XT 500's and the XL/XR 500's were almost cult bikes...every schoolboys dream....

When the Daytona 650 came 1st and 2nd in the Isle of Man TT in '03, I was sold. The Yellow colour with the Union Jack across the front fairing was fantastic. Aso, a sportsbike capable of touring.

It was a big jump for me - I went from the KR150 (2-stroke) to the RS.  The KR was pretty quick though, but that RS was just awesome.  As soon as I opened her up the first time on the test drive I was SO sold!!  Then put on 88 000 totally hassle-free km, and then wrote it off... it was a sad day indeed.  I really miss it.  The current roadbike (Z750S) just doesn't compare, it's a good bike, make no mistake, but it just doesn't have the personality the RS had.  That's why I say I'll be shopping for a triple again in the near future.
