The sound is truly immense. I say this often about these old triples, but wow, what a sensational noise that Triumph race can makes. As the service manager said when he handed the bike back last year "Your MOT is all sorted Mr. Chaucer. No issues, though the tester has added an advisory for the loud exhaust". I said "it's not too loud then?". He tilted his head slightly and said "no sir, but it's about as loud as you'd want for a road bike...". Top lad, looked after me well.
I would agree with that, these bikes with the triumph race can sound superb.

I do indeed still have it. I haven't had it out on the road this year, having become a dad to bairn #2 in recent months. I have a new garage at home following a house extension completed over winter, so I'll have a lot more opportunity to ride it next year.

I've often thought about getting a more modern machine like a VFR1200F, but the T595 always puts a smile on my face and they're worth a pittance, so I might as well keep it!

They do look great, I recall back in 98 having a full on bypass/roundabout battle with a T595 on by new GSXR750 WW and my bike just had the legs on it.

There's a more recent model at CMC in Cannock at the moment, a splendid looking beast. It's as good as the photos make it out to be...

Good service history and Triumph carbon can. Not expensive, really.
