Not at first blush. It didn't ride as "substantial" as I had hoped. It's a small bike but I'm not a small guy, so it's a bit of an ergonomic mismatch. Responsive, torquey engine, however, with a slick gearbox and a hooligan (to me) exhaust note. Very nicely packaged and a first-rate finish, like our CB's, but strangely, I felt a little disconnected from the bike, perhaps due to the ride-by-wire throttle (it could have been in my head). That being said, I do think Triumph will sell boatloads of them.
