Hello everyone! My name is Paolo and i'm from north Italy.
I come to this forum because i'm in love with the Trophy, and i'm trying to understand is it can be the right motorcyclke for me.
I'm a young motorcyclist and i've started riding since 2013.
I've started riding with a lovely '04 BMW R1150R purchased with 70'00 km (40k miles). I had chosen an old, weak and cheep bike because i didn't know if the motorcycle world fits me or not. An year and 20'000km (12.5k miles) i was compleatly addicted. So i sold tha old BMW that at this time was starting to lose pieces and i approach the Triumph world.
In Italy Triumph means only three model: Speed-Tiger 800- Explorer. STOP.
Seems that the otrer models are misunderstood and undervalued.
I like travel and even if occasionally my right wrist goes crazy, the majority of the time i enjoy the ride.
So i choose to buy a '14 Tiger SPORT with 1200km (745 miles) and now, after 3 years the ODO shows almost 50'000 km (31k miles). I've enjoied alot this bike and i think that the most balanced option and i'm still loving the way it feels and performs. It give me the opportunity to enjoy the alps or other short tours as well as enjoy long trip as the last one when i spent 10 days around SLO - HR - SRB - BiH - RO - H. It's a good product and fits most type of riding style.
After a while i started riding with "leather suite" friends and in a while i start changing my riding habits.
The turn point for me happened two year ago, when i bought a Yamaha XTX 660 to pair at the Tiger but tu use for the more fast tours.
That bike has 48HP engine on a 180 kg (396.83lb) motorcycle and that year i rode very aggressive with my "fat-supermoto".
I'm not a pilot, i know because i've tried the track with awful results.
The bike is tecnically old and inferior to the other naked or dual sport.
So, why i was able to follow and even pass other modern bike and skilled riders?
I was accepting more risks and reducing my safety margins.
Understood that i sold the XT and immediatly quit been je**

on street.
So, now i'm enjoying the street with my Tiger and when my right wrist prickles i go on track.
ok, ok... all amazing, but... the Trophy?
Recently i discovered this model (in Italy is almost notexisting) and i've been captured.
I'm trying to inderstand if the Trophy can be my ideal motorcycle.
I love the way looks and technically seems to be a very good product.
I read alot about the Trophy and i havn't found nothing that demoralized me.
I'm very proud of mi Tiger and now with all mods fits me perfect so i'm a bit nervous to change it.
I ask anyone to give me some impression or advice. I'll appreciate every suggest.
I'm quite sure that this motorbike will let me appreciate the road in a very relaxed way and this is great, but my only doubt is that this trophy can be in trouble in very windings roads, wich are the majority here where i live.
The segment where is collocated this amazing product is Sport-Tourers but i'm afraid that the Sport part isn't very much.
What do you think about?
