Every line below says which it is. A quote is somebody's own words on the platform named. A summary is ours, drawn from published coverage — and never put inside quote marks.
“I went to a dealership, test rode one, loved it, and didnt buy it because of the digital dials.”
“Seat height is unnecessarily high, along with Triumph’s asking price for a Thailand built bike that is 15 years old in design.”
“Negative: a very small tank gives a range of 180 to 200 kms only, if you are touring!”
The engine is always going to hit the sweet spot with plenty of character.
The 1200 twin is quite a low tech low stressed unit with no real achilles heal other than the aforementioned gearbox problem.

Owners abroad rate this bike's resale, warranty and service cost on their own market's terms. None of that applies here — different duty, dealer network and used market. It is shown separately and never counted above.
