Riders in the USA don't seem to get this bike, as a result they don't know what they are missing. Yes, it's tall. It handles like a sportbike in the twisties, and is very comfortable for 700 mile days. Enough front end protection from the elements, but not so much you feel like your in a cocoon. A big improvement were the tubless wheels, it still needs better breaks and suspension (both addressed effectively on the '07 model). I love this bike and would highly recomend it to those that want only one bike, but need it do many things quite well. My Triumphs have proven to be as reliable as anything available today.
Upgrades/Accessories: Racetech Gold Seal cartridge emulator's and modified fork springs, Wilbers four way adjustable shock, and Thunderbike exhaust/crash bars/radiator and oil cooler protectors. Intend to get a set of full floating rotors for the front.
