Based on the media images, looks like the new triumphs all get a new UI for their displays. Really hope they upgrade the older models like the tiger who have that awful 'we don't ride bikes and designed a UI' display.

opengl posted:Thats the same one the Street Triple has/had right? With the wavy double tach nonsense? Absolutely horrible. Yeah the one where the tac takes up the whole background but is made so it's a bar that grows towards you. Really bad to see what is going on. It's filling space that could so easily have other crap on it, even with the other settings, it's just yeah bad. Some settings on one display option, others on others, just a mess, I think the rocket was the only one with the digital dial option, or analogue on the Bonnie's and speed/street. Kawi has a great one on the n1k. Tac left to right rest is other poo poo you need at a glance. Job done. Even yamaha tracer with the goggle screen thing has them split and configurable. Triumph it's all buried in menus or in a narrow section of the screen.

Would have hoped for more torque with the electric motor kicking in some power. That's one of the best draws of electric bikes and that seems okish? Though until they sort out battery weight and duration on bikes, hybrid might be a step in the right direction at least.

It's Kawi, they have a metric or something for cramming the twin into every model everywhere.

Deeters posted:I didn't know they were still doing those at all. It's a shame because walking around gawking at bikes and trying on some random gear was always fun. A lot of dealers are getting real stingy with the test rides or have no demo stock. Triumph was one of the few that just chucked keys and said 'tell me what you think''. Even got handed the keys of a salesman's personal ride as they had none of the T120 in so he just said to take his for a spin.

Furious George posted:I had some kid try to take my MT09 off the driveway once, they did not respectfully set down the sidestand, probably because I was only about 15' away at the time, and closing in on them fast. They ran off down the street and jumped on the back of a moped with 2 people already on it Guessing you are UK? That theives on mopeds seems to be rife over there and just blows my mind at how bad it is. On your driveway no less. Over here, throwing the bike in the tray of Ute or back of a van happens more. They just pull up, grab it and drive off. With immobilisers in everything now they must just strip it for parts.

Cops here had FJR's before they switched to BMW's. They would be worth a fair bit Meanwhile all I want is the cop vest/helmet Axon cam with the crazy long battery life and storage that we can't get peasant side. Take that over the poo poo battery on a gopro

Slavvy posted:I4 literbikes are dead, sorry guys Good thing Australia is the dumping ground for everything that doesn't pass (like all the older f150's and other American monster trucks etc) because we have no emission standards. Might get an influx of i4 existing stock of bikes. Kawi won't be happy, the i4 is a sweet engine in the versys and ninja.

prukinski posted:Australia is also one of the worst places in the world to own an i4 literbike given that we have maybe five good roads and they're all ruthlessly speed enforced. Yep, pretty much why I traded mine in. Even for a sport tourer level i4 it was miserable below 80k's. Got a tiger 900 and get to thrash and thow it around like its a moto. Nice being able to use more than 10% throttle all the time too. Miss the far nicer dash display from the Kawi though.

Deeters posted:I saw someone riding a Motocompacto at work today. Riding one looks as ridiculous as I thought. Feel free to make fun of the guy for buying a $1000 suitcase to ride the 3/4 of a mile from parking lot to his office. It really does look like a solution looking for a problem. A normal scooter does the same job and looks less like riding a briefcase. It reeks of 'cruising around the Google/apple campus to get my latte' techbro feel also.

Arson Daily posted:harley CEO doubling down on the "make very expensive road couches" strategy isnt helping either. The price tag on them in kangaroo land is insane too. 30+ grand for a stock cruiser is very much rich boomer territory only and that's just for a low rider, the road kings are 40k and up. Then again, not like anyone can afford houses here anymore, so I guess you could just drop 50k on a bike instead.

Finance on a vehicle that can get cleaned up at the first intersection by some dude in a dodge Ram looking at his phone while driving seems like a bad decision.

Did that award for anything poo poo even start with millenials? I never got one growing up. Maybe it's the younger ones of that group. I've always been in the 'you win or you lose' era of millenials. Participation awards didn't start until my kids were growing up. So gen z or whatever the next one was.

CongoJack posted:Riding a motorcycle gives you a very valid reason to dress up like some kind of cool fighter pilot, why wouldn’t you take it? This. You get to gear up and wear armour then ride a motorcycle. We might get bug splatters, cars trying to kill us, rained on, freezing cold or melting in the heat, but we get to wear gear that protects us AND makes us feel like some future soldier with armour plating.

I usually do the side tilt nod because I've got too much going on with cars around me for a wave. Even seen someone do the foot drop wave thing that I thought was only a European custom. But yeah, two wheels and a motor, you're getting a nod. Harley riders don't like it but deal with it.

Do they have speed restrictions on filtering there? Ours is sub 30km/hr 18mph which at least helps reduce getting doored by giving more reaction time. Thankfully most people here are so precious about their hundred grand dodge rams (that barely fit in the lane) or Teslas that they just block the lane a bit more as a gently caress you. Worst I have had to worry about is the on the phone idiots in cars or the sudden dart to another lane with no indication poo poo.

Finger Prince posted:I know I've mentioned how much I like my Gsx-s750, but just riding around town running some errands, it struck me that this bike is probably all the bike I'll ever want. Other bikes do one thing or another better, but this thing is just so versatile, while still being fun as heck to ride. Comfortable, makes good noise, equally at home pootling around town in 2nd and 3rd gear as it is grinding highway miles, as it is carving through mountain passes and twisty roads. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but it's perfect for me. Some bikes just do that. Doesn't matter the power, specs or anything, just makes you feel good. Do yourself a favour and never replace it, get another bike, but don't sell that one.

Speed, drugs/alcohol, or lack of gear are usually the major causes of fatalities here. Mitigate those risks and the survival rate improves dramatically.
