Wot were the numbers OZ? The link is not working for me. HP, Torque and dry weight is all I need. Of course I can also look it up.

Real sweet Ozz. Good all round numbers. Good horsepower, good weight and the torque number is surprisingly high, even at a bunch of revs.
It will out run my SV. 108 hp at the rear wheel, 72 torque if I remember correctly, but at lower revs, 410 pounds dry.
I can probably get 115 hp with different mufflers, and having a chat with the ECU.
Bikes under 375 are so much more fun to ride. Your bike will also have better suspension and brakes than mine. I think you will find yourself going quicker, easier.
I have the advantage of saddle bags and rear box for carrying junk.
The Trophy 900 is 98 hp and 482 pounds. It went flat on me the other day. WOT in fourth up a steep hill. 5000 revs and noddy said that is all he had. Needed to buzz him more in third, so he hits fourth around 6000 or higher. Will try again in the dry.
Checked him on the flat, and 7500 comes easy.

Agreed. The graph is showing newton meters.
The horsepower at around 10,000 is similar to the SV. The extra giddy up is coming from the twilight zone, over 10,000.
The need to keep it buzzing, will be offset a bit by the lighter weight. When push comes to shove, dropping a couple of gears will send you on your way, in a hurry.
You will match the big bores most of the time, and smoke most in the twisties.

I am looking forward to it as well. The lap times will get closer to the bike boys.
The last triples I rode before my Trophy, were all of the Kawasakis. Many of the Triumph guys, are drooling over some non stock pipes for their triples. Mine is so quiet I can not hear the exhaust note.
