Picked this up at lunchtime, aside from the unbelieveable wind blast (compared to my Triumph Explorer I traded in), I'm loving it!

Very nice best of luck with it
 
Nice indeed, enjoy.

Oh, gold wheels look superb and are easier to clean, than those horrible black ones! IMHO :D
 
Nice one. After going through a few of them we found this version to be the one that suited us the best. Good luck with it.
Cheers
 
Thanks all, gold wheels wouldn’t have been my first choice but after seeing one with black ones I didn’t like it.
 
Last April I only went to try a low seat version at Marshalls for size. Barstewards. Clearly no will power :blast

The whole colour scheme captured me from a TB. Gold wheels and all. :thumb

Wow! That looks bloody lovely! I personally prefer the gold wheels.

I am slightly surprised by you getting more wind blast on the GSA than the Explorer. I've ridden both and the GSA is like a barn door (and none the worse for that!).

Enjoy. :beerjug:
 
Looks lovely but I would say that as I have the exact same bike :) Fitting a Wunderlich-style wind deflector (I bought a Chinese copy for £16 instead of paying around £100 for a genuine one) sorted the slight buffeting and noise from the standard screen (I'm 6'2"). I can comfortably ride at motorway speeds with visor up if I want to.
 
Gold wheels on the HP are ace. Black spokes are dull and make the bike look ‘heavy’ because the HP colours up top are bright. And this comes from one who had a very black 1200 Triple Black with black spoked wheels. Enjoy the HP! Brilliant bikes.

I’m 6’2 as well and never found too much wind blast on the Explorer but even with the seat on low I’m looking over the screen much more noticeably than I did on the Explorer so I guess that’s probably why.

I don’t suppose you have a link to those deflectors do you? Thanks in advance!
