xt all what you have said is true what a great bike.

Got the xt today,

One of the lads rang last night to say he had booked holiday as he knew I was off. What you doing tomorrow picking up xt I replied he said you can pick it up later I have booked holiday we are off out.

Four and half hours fantastic riding Ribble Head, onto Kirby Lonsdale (bridge) by the back roads. I have a triumph speed triple great bike.

Once home I rang the dealer is the bike ready I enquired, Dealer replied parts not arrived sorry, Oh is the bike prepped, Dealer yes, I will bring the bike back next week for parts fitting then, Dealer no prob you can also have bike to go home on until bike is ready. Sorted I said, Dealer really sorry anything else I can do, I replied struggling for a lift to get over for xt. Dealer I will deliver to your door just needs taxing. Very soon after bike arrived.

Off I set again this time on the xt what a cracking day I have had. I noticed very soon I have the surging, I also stalled at roundabout but I think my fault not enough rasberries. Oh and having just got off triumph after over four hours triumph brakes **** hot. I approached a junction pulled brakes and over shot wow but the brakes brand new not scrubbed in so I think should get better

But surging can be sorted I know that and once I had settled down on the xt what a cracking bike. All what you guys have said began to make sense going around bends brill whoops !!!!! forgot tyres not scrubbed in kept it upright though.

This bike is fantastic I can see the triumph not getting out so often. With the bike being new just a bit concerned about opening it up just yet we will see how it goes.
