Bill,
Beware of the 12,000 mile service.Just had mine done in January at a Triumph dealer.He quoted £400,but i did have a free upgrade on the petrol pipes,new pads,new breather at the end of the crank its a modified part.The total bill...................................£660!!!
Thats rightIts the first time i've had the courage to right it down.
First service i have ever  had done by a garage,always do them myself,and will do in te future.
My wife loves it says its the most comfortable bike we have had.
And we had loads of other bikes
Oh its a 2000 ST.Love it
