Ive taken a roadie 800 on a test ride, the engine was pretty sweet I must say. How do you find the handling of the XC off asphalt? Ive heard a few people say it feels fairly top heavy, does the Safari tank make much of a difference ?
If you find yourself around in Banff/Canmore, Alberta, Canada, stop by for a pint

I've only done 5000 miles since picking it up last month, so not really qualified to give a long term review just yet.
What I have noticed so far;
Replaced rear shock spring to cope with the silly load
Side stand switch is in a crazy spot and had already been damaged before I bought the bike. It's now zip tied in a higher spot
Replaced the counter shaft sprocket with 1 tooth smaller, there was too much clutch slipping going on to get it off the line
I think Triumph did what others have tried and failed to do, they got it near spot on in the first attempt. Well done
Overall it's been a good choice for the job, look forward to clocking up many more miles
We will be up near you in early July, might look you up when we get a bit closer
Glen
