Nice but needs a proper rear mudguard if it is going to get dirty, especially in wet mud.

I don't think it's even likely to be ridden in the rain so mud shouldn't be an issue. :lol:

Whilst pretty, it's proportions look all wrong to me. Plus it doesn't look more than a standard bike with an exhaust, paint and proper tyres as opposed to the stupid semi off road tyres that are worse for 95% of people who'd buy one as they come from the factory. Sure there's more to it, but it's a meh from me.

I really don't like it, it looks heavy and top heavy at that

It's too high, but because of where the pipes are, you can't lower it!
Perhaps banging a 19" wheel on it would suit it better.
Really like it.............from the headstock backwards

I love mine - but those end cans are dumb.
TBH looks nothing more and a posh fork and a gold chain.

Mind you the normal XC would look good all BRG ....

They'll probably sell some Official Triumph Hipster stick on mud kit for it...
