Ride comparison isn't even in the same ballpark. The Triumph's seat is probably the most comfortable on a bike that was ever made. Suspenson is adjustable all around. I'm 6'4" and 220 handles me and the missus (she's around 5'7" and 130) easily with luggage. Compatible to the GS without the cost.

Miss the frunk everytime I get off it and need to store my helmet. EVERY TIME! Also miss the gas milage. Went from $12 every 2-3 weeks to $11 every week.

Brand new. 135hp 90 ft/lbs torque. Lots of oomph.

Well, I did it, and I feel terrible. But at the same time, needed to upgrade to a bigger, taller ride, and compared to the NC. She feels like a Cadillac with a Porsche engine. Here's what I traded up for and got 3k worth of free gear in the process through Triumph.

I have turned mine into a touring bike and it functions as one extremely well. Here is what I added to convert her over... 1. Seat Concepts Comfort Seat for Rider & Passenger. 2. BreakAway Cruise Control 3. Adjustable Foot Pegs (eBay) 4. Backrest for Pillion Passenger 5. Rear Customized...

I'm eyeing up the Moto Guzzi Stelvio. Thought of trading the NC in then found out the dealer would only give me 3k for my fully loaded NC. Screw that, bike #2 if I can swing it by the wife that 2 bikes is an ok thing in the garage.

Here's what I'm taking (5 day trip)... Tent Matress Pad Sm Tool Kit Chargers (helmet, camera & phone) Helmet Camera (Ion Pro 2) 3days worth of shorts and TShirts (stuffed into ziplock gallon bags) Sandals or tennies 3days worth of skivvies Toiletries (toothbrush, deodorant, body wash) Tylenol...

Mission complete. Thanks everyone.

How does one adjust the brake light switch?

Are the shift & brake foot controls adjustable? I just installed adjustable foot pegs to allow for my long legs some addl room. Anyway, I have the pegs down & back and now to up-shift and brake, I have to lift my whole foot off the pegs to actuate them. Can the shift lever and brake lever be...

I dress like the glowing Michelin man. Full armor (no matter how hot it is), hyper yellow vest, air horn on the NC, reflective tape on forks and back of bags. I've had people tell me they could see my vest 2 miles away. This shit works folks.

Yes a group of close friends. Invited 32, only 4 in thus far.

Awesome posts gentlemen. I'm looking at mid July 5 day trip. I definitely will be picking up the chair as long as she is tall and breaks down small. REI one looks good. Thanks all.

Wondering what gear to take on a 2000 mile tour I'm going on this Summer. MN to Arkansas. I'll have my side bags, frunk, 40l tail bag. What should I pack? We will be camping but eating at resteraunts. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I'm finally replacing my stock Metzelers with these this week. Got 8k miles on the Metzlers. Heard good things about these. Looking forward to riding them from MN to Arkansas in June.

I'm putting a group ride together to head down there from Minnesota in July. Should be fun. Hoping for attentive car drivers the whole way there and back.

6' 4" Swapped out the seat with a Seat Concepts seat and it's perfect. I used to sit low into the bike with the stock seat, now I'm on top of the bike. Knees are not as bent as with stock and way more comfy.

Hey Mike, do you have a link for the Kajima guards where I can check them out / order?
