1998 TBS
Red / Black
25,000
Excellent
I am 5'7", 140 Lbs.
I have owned this bike since new. Mods as follows;
Solo seat/cowl- red
Fly screen- red
Rear fender elimination ( my own) w/ new turn signals front and rear, LED tailight, and newly fabricated rear assembly using stock license plate light.
New horn w/ cow bell elimination!
Triumph fork protectors
Motrax bar-end mirrors
Woodcraft clip-on handlebars
Oberon UK billet black anodized foot pegs
(looking for steering damper)
I'm not planning any engine mods as I can already scare myself very easily with the stock performance. I have no trouble staying with any rider I encounter, although I only weigh 140.
This bike is incredible. It does everything I want, although the range is a bit short ( small tank capacity), and the solo seat gets uncomfortable quickly. The only problem I have ever had with this bike has been that It takes me a long time to get anywhere. Any time I stop people want to look at the bike and talk about it or the Bonneville they once had!
I have had all major services done by the dealer and have done my own mods and oil changes, always using the Mobil 1 synthetic racing oil and oem filter purchased from the dealer.
I've replaced the chain once and I am on my third set of tires.
The relatively low mileage is due to a combo of short season in Vermont, other bike, and car which is almost as much fun to drive as this bike. The WRX is way more fun in the rain or snow, and we get a lot of both here!
I will own this bike until I die.
Cheers
