Triumph
I just bought a Triumph Sprint GT last week, I love it! Still breaking in the motor and adjusting to it but I'm really enjoying the experience of having my first new bike, and I love the convenience of the hard bags. I had to make a change. Although my GF doesn't ride with me often, she finds the Kat hard on the back and bottom. Some friends of ours are riding road couches and she feels left out (I am not prepared to go that far yet) but hopfully she finds the GT better and it suites my riding style more conveniently with detachable hard bags and optional top box.
Yesterday I sold my 01 750 Kat (who I call Gumby) to a co-worker, which is great because I still get to see it. I've put alot of love into the bike and I had a blast doing it. I completed my dream trip two years ago when I rode from my home just outside Toronto all the way to the west coast of Canada, through California down to Texas and back up the East coast. Amazing experience. I was out for 57 days and roughly 20,000km. Gumby was amazing, not so much as a burp through both the rockies and the desert.
I can already tell that I will miss that signature Katana saddle, my Triumph is really comfortable but I still say the Kat has the best seat.
I want to thank everyone for thier helpful tips and advice in making Gumby the bike that he is today. A special thanks to spedee who was always willing to help and listen to my somewhat crazy ideas. I miss riding with him.
I'm not very computer oriented so, no pic:
Gumby
Ivans jet kit
Ignition Advancer
ArtFibras undertail and hugger
Custom solo cowl by teddy
Clear Alternatives Smoked lenses
Updated tail with integrated LED's
Hindle Exhaust
Custom paint with no decals anywhere on the bike
72 000km's of knee dragging, long touring fun!
Thanks Kat Riders
