........ thanks whoosh! - I had a good search around all the usual manual suppliers earlier this year and drew a blank.

They should move a few when they hit the market.

According to the US site, it's already available.

Amazon only lists hardcover (presume that's what's out first?) and it's not available until Nov 15 according to amazon. I suppose I can wait until then.

Hey when somebody gets it, please let the rest of us know if it's any good! The Triumph manual is a BIG disappointment. I also have a 1989 Yamaha FZR400. The shop manual for that bike is amazing. It makes the manual for the Sprint look like it was written more by the lawyers then somebody with any technical language.

Seriously, if you stripped out all the warnings I think the Triumph manual would be 1/4" thick.

It'd definitely be nice to have another reference for us non-professionals.

since its pay day, I`ve pre-ordered a copy from amazon UK

As previously stated, everyone in the UK will have to wait until the 15th

Buying it from M&P, the basic price (£22.99) its more expensive than from Amazon......and with minimum M&P shipping charges, (£4.99) that books going to cost you nearly £10 more than buying from amazon
