Hi all, wonder if any of me fizzymates can help. Im after a modern bike with distance riding in mind. I have a static van by the sea and want a bike for the 100 mile trip. Im leaning towards hinkley Triumphs but open to idears as im weed off with scrolling through ebay. or maybe you have a large modern retro tourer for sale..... you never know i might put my 73 candy gold ss into the deal.

the triumph sprint st is regarded as one of the best tourers around and they are quite cheap now for the 955 models. ive had a couple of triumphs and cant fault them
I've had a number of Triumphs and they're all really nice. My Speed Triple is fantastic... Depends whether you want resto or low maintenance.
I've just bought a VTR1000 Firestorm - these are readily available and very cheap on e-bay - you'll pick up a nice one for £1500. Tank range is the only downer as you have to refill after 125 miles unless you get a post-2001 model.
hi ive owned a 955i speed triple for ten years. ive been as far north as trondheim in norway on it also down to le mans & spa its never missed a beat, & still has the oringinal battery on it. got quite a few mates with hinckleytriumphs & no problems hope that helps.
The zedman is right - the Triumph's are a great breed and tend to hold their value. Best one's I've had have been the Speed Triple 1050 (current bike) and the T509 Speed Triple. Worst one I had was the TT600 and you wouldn't want that for touring anyway.
got one, Iv got a 1999 Triumph Legend TT. low miles. nice looking if like me you like that type of bike. got a clip on screen and bags for touring. chuffed up with it. post pics when iv got some. thanks for replys guys
