when i got it, it was super hard to turn and didn't feel stable in corners. I was like WTF this is supposed to be one of the most flickable bikes made. Come to find out the front air pressure was 20 and rear 17psi.

I put the right pressures in and proceeded with my almost kneedragging on onramps :) I should weather leathers everyday to drag knees :)

Tire pressure has huge effects on the feel of a bike let alone such a drastic drop as that. I bet it felt like a tank and didn't want to lean at all.

You should post sober.
 
I love it. I actually didn't know that triumph made crotch rockets. I want one and they seem cheaper than the competition.

Great bike. Drive SAFE and have fun.
 
Cheaper? The MSRP on the bike is like $9700 parts are more expensive etc etc.

Most 600's are in the 8500-9300 range now

Yes but you go to a meet and "look, 655 OTHER jap 600's!"

Exclusivity has a price.

Besides have you ever ridden anything that crners so nice? It corners like a 200lb bike. I rode one in early 06 and if it wasn't for the fact that five days before I had stroked a 14k check for my Sprint, I would own one.

It corners like a beast!!! We went to a local 4th celebration and i parked where i could see it the whole time and about every 5 mins people where stopping and looking at it.

They see the triumph stickers and it blows their mind.
 
That is a very hot looking bike! I bet it would look good parked next to this car ;)
