Carbonfibrebob,

Doesn't squeezing the bead (on the Scorp Trails)in that extra inch change the tire's profile enough to effect the handling?

190's work perfectly fine. Many Buell racers use 190's. I've put nearly 10k miles on the 190 Scorpion Trail and can vouch for their handling (and their tread life, and durability, and traction).

I'm hoping for a "Pike's Peak" type racer from Erik Buell Racing.

FT BSTD - I believe he was making reference to the crescent fender riding the wheel, vice the distance between the wheel and the body.

Doesn't seem much closer than what's on the 990A.





Or GS





Or Stelvio

The 675 was originally produced for the Daytona & subsequently found its way into Triumph street bike line up. Around 2005 I think. There were 5 triples manufactured over the years (855 & 955 discontinued) 675, 800 & 1050 currently in production. @ 90 something HP, the 800 triple is definately a detuned version of the 125 hp Daytona 675. The newer triples are arguably one of the best M/C engines out there. Hinckley factory burned down around 2003 (I think) point is, as a result of recently starting from scratch, Triumph has probably the most modern, technologically advanced facility anywhere. The triple design has been around for a few decades now & well proven to be a reliable, performance oriented power plant. After a year or 2 of working any bugs out, the 800XC may well be my next 'do all' machine. Could replace KLR, ULY & Tiger with one beast & expand my available garage space. Might even be able to put the car in.
