Buy it, ride it, regret it, sell it and then buy the Honda and enjoy.

Life is short...if you can afford it, do it, enjoy it, and have fun!
On the other hand, this 675 Triumph is also strikingly gorgeous, reliable, there are probably 10 dealers within 2 hours of your home, parts are easily obtainable, there are hundreds of techs that can work on them and it's sure to make you grin at 10,000 RPM's!
180 HP looks pretty sexy in red too!

Gorgeous bike.
It's a similar conundrum for me with Guzzi. I really like the bikes but the dealership situation is a huge demerit.

Warning!!!! Word is that MV have just gone into 'Protective Administration'. Prices will fall spares will be impossible to get and there will be no dealers.

is that for real Paul? I can't find anything on line about it.

MV Agusta right? I can't find anything either.

Interesting. A news story of 5 February says Mercedes Benz will display MV Augusta bikes in its showrooms. Mercedes acquired 25% of MV Augusta in 2014. See http://www.cycleworld.com/2016/02/05/mv-agusta-and-mercedes-amg-marketing-partnership-cycle-world-industry-news/

Just a rumour at the moment but it all depends how deeply Mercedes want to put their hands in their pockets to sort an embarrassing financial situation at MV.
