I think he means this one  They have come down a lot in price since i last looked at one

A faster more reliable Harley that doesn't shake itself to bits.

Hmmm.....a 2.3 litre triple. Sounds good to me.

Yes, the Harley really is a bike for show, much less so for riding......hence why the American plod always used jap bikes!

That's a good premise.

Lets put it another way, given that Harley is  US brand, its far from the favoured choice of Police Bike (and even the old Chips program on TV used the Kwak's)

I've got the real Triumph Triple, a 750cc T150V.

Lucky man, Mr Rods.

I believe that the T150 had the engine upright in the frame, while the T160 had it 'canted' slightly forward?

Yes, the T150V has an upright engine, no electric start, and the gear change on the right hand side. The T150V has a number of updates over the T150 including the twin leading shoe front brake being replaced with a single disc and the 4 speed replaced with a 5 speed gearbox.

Been getting stuck behind the damned things all week. German registered, huge groups 2 abreast, wheel to wheel, touring at all of 40 MPH. Then they get offended when a group of kit cars come past the lot at every straight.
