Yesterday, was out to lunch with Mrs G and Mom, and a guy rode into the restaurant parking lot on a Triumph triple, think it was a Trident. Sounded awesome. Wanted to invent a reason to excuse myself to run out to the parking lot to see what kind of exhaust he had put on it, but by the time I could, he had picked up whatever take-out he was there for and was gone.
Gee, thanks AI Algorithm. My YouTube feed just loaded up a bunch of Triumph Triple videos for me to snack on.

Love to hear about rides on your new girl !!
A friend bought a Z900RS the other day, and in simple terms of weight and how happy this engine revs, this is an amazing bike. Probably not far from your definition of a lighter alternative to fool around with. ANyway we have planned a few spring rides together, switching bikes every 30 miles or so, on many different roads. I am looking forward to comparing the two "retros" side by side.
Let us know how you get on.

Yes, it is more aggressive than the Ninja 650 but not as extreme as the Yamaha R7, bit of a halfway house. I have lower back problems and a little forward lean does actually help me in that regard, it's like mini traction
