When ever Triumph introduce a new model the owners of the previous version get Oh so superior  :icon_lol: so owners of previous model called the 'steamer' which is way kind for a bloody Stone Age tractor which has all the connection from throttle to carbs akin to Pony Express compared to the email of the fuel injected Girly  :icon_biggrin:

And like wise the Girly lot gave the 1050 roadie mob such a hard time they flounced off and created their own site  :icon_rolleyes:
