Hi everyone

I've just ordered an 07 Sprint ABS and have a couple of questions. I have planned a trip up to Scotland in June with an initial ride of approx 400 miles. Is the stock seat okay for this or should I consider the gel seat and perhaps the higher screen. I'm on the short side (5'-6") if this makes any difference. Secondly, is the standard Triumph hard luggage waterproof and are the inner bags worth buying at 70GBP.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks

Stock seat is good for me for any kind of riding. You'll probably get 100 answers with 100 different opinions on that topic.

The luggage holds out water. I have the re-issued luggage, and it works fine. You'll have the "new" ones on your bike too.

Of course, you'll get 100 opinions on that topic!!! :-D

I like the stock screen, the seat is OK but does get soft after a few hours.

Put some miles on it and see what you think before ordering parts. It really is pretty good the way it comes stock.
