I think I'm on the way back...............:-0)
I had my first Blackbird (96 P Titanium) back in 97 and my second (2001 01 Silver) in 2003. At that time I bought an old Triumph Tiger (K reg) to commute on, to save the miles and depreciation on the Blackbird, the trouble is I enjoyed the upright riding position and general throwaroundaroundaboutability! (you know what I mean........)!!
Since then I've owned 5 Tigers up to and including the last 955i style (56 plate ) and a 1050 - couldn't get on with the 1050 (just a bit too boring and very bad headlight) Bought a KTM 990 Adventure last September and whilst it is great fun charging down country lanes and upsetting sports bike riders,it's just too extreme and the vibrations and rusty spokes after just 3 months,have worn me down...........It has been sold...
I quite fancy a Sprint 1050 ST- but hanker after another Blackbird,
Any one here owned / ridden both long term? Any feed back welcome, I ride every day 50 mile round trip all year long...
I'm going to buy one or another this weekend.....
Cheers All
