Hmm that's interesting. I've tried the naked mt-09, and it was fun, but small, but I thought they'd made this one longer and taller...
Might just stick with the GS for now.

Yeah. Nothing at all. It really rides nicely and it is fast on real roads.
It may be too easy to ride...that KTM I had was fantastically good, but was far more of handful.
So I don't know what next TBH.

How about a nice Mk2A TDM 850 ?
With a lovely set of brand new Renntec engine bars - ideal for those little car park 'tumbles'

have a look at the disclaimer at the end of this Triumph adverts. He only rode it on a bit of gravel and grass and stood up on the pegs.
Are they going to entertain a warrantee claim if they know you have ridden it off road.

Triumph motorcycles are not suitable for off-road use. So why do they market it showing it being used off-road ffs ?

Or at least contested by the Adventuretising Standards Authority.

Yeah - them as well. 
How can you have a video showing the bike off road, and advertising its off road traction control feature, only to then add in small print "not for off road". I think Triumph really would be pushing their luck in a court.
