It was a late October 2016 model. With hindsight I should have waited over winter until spring 2017 to get it. I had to wait 3 months or so as it was which was a bit annoying but i was told by the dealer it was the last one available that year. Sadly regretted it. the over riding feeling I had with it was that it had been thrown together in a rush with all the bits left over.....a bit like they used to say about cars being built on a Friday afternoon. As i say i am sure the dealer would have solved it all but when i went onto the Triumph forums (like this one) many had similar niggles. So it spolit it. I know wise people say never to get the first of any new model because of stuff like this but i got swept up in it all i suppose. Not intending to slag the 120 off because there will no doubt be many very happy owners out there. It just ruined it for me. Regarding the riding experience i would echo the comprehensive write ups already detailed here. I did find the ride by wire throttle quite snatchy in town and that was a nuisance. Kind regards john
