Expect about 160 miles per tank in the real world and a sore ass after about 30 minutes. I have owned several new Triumphs and this is the one area in which they fail miserably. The ass. Triumph, if you are listening, please call Corbin for some pointers or at least include a hemorrhoid cushion in the tool kit for ass sakes. The current feet-forward seating position gave me leg cramps after 30 minutes on the freeway and caused my boot to scrape the pavement on the long sweepers. If you moved the pegs back a couple of inches, I believe you would avoid the toe scrapers and be able to take full advantage of the nimble tubular steel cradle chassis.
Riding two up is an attractive proposition for about 15 minutes until your passenger leans over and shouts, "Hey! My ass hurts." I'm telling you, that seat really sucks. We were sitting at an intersection when this guy rolls up to the stoplight and begins honking his horn and giving me the thumps up sign. At first I thought it was some psycho doing a Fonzie impersonation but then I glanced towards the passenger side and saw his wife exuding the exact same psychotic behavior. What are the odds of two psychos finding each other? Nevermind, I guess Bill did find Hillary. This guy eagerly rolls down the window and just when I was about to yell, "Gun!" he leans over and says, "Great bike man! I just bought one in Red! We love it!" Obviously he and his wife have not spent more than 15 minutes in the saddle or he would have leaned over and said, "Great bike man! I just bought one in Red! And man, does my ass hurt!"
