Do you have to dress like The Fonz to ride it?

(Yeah I know it's not a triumph, but it looks similar to his bike if you squint a bit)

There's a lot I like in that, simple and very few coloured highlights, calipers etc.

I'd have no use for it,but it's quite nice. A mate used to have the 600 version,I recall it being a grumpy starter,particularly when hot.

That was the SRX, didn't help they were kick only....

The SR was a bloody horrible semi custom thing from the 70s. Slower than a 250 Superdream IIRC.

I like the look of it.

I bet it's dead wee and nesh though, not like the VF1000R; that was a proper man's bike.

Yup, there was definitely a knack to them & anything other than the correct tyre pressures meant horrible tank slappers too.

Something not quite right about that tracker, bars look too high for starters
