Don't know if the grey hair was from test riding it....or for having to work so many years to afford it

yes be an interesting ride but having owned a later model Triumph I would wonder how the Triumph bits are going to handle that extra power - my experience with the 900 triple I had was never to be repeated - one problem after another - traded on Honda CB 1300S
