Do we get the red option in the UK market though?

Dare I arrange a test ride?...

Which is probably why I won’t take the test ride Hawk!  And anyway, I do like my DTX.

So it should Hawk, it's a very capable machine and about the only things my Street Triple does better is the grunt from 50-70 mph for overtaking and the clearance angles when cornering. 

BUT... I rarely use the former these days, preferring a more considered rate of progress and as for the latter, I find I'm touching the centre stand down only on rare warm sunny days with dry, clean tarmac.  As I've said on here before, my riding ratio reflects these facts as it's 90:10 in favour of the Kymco!  Don't get me wrong, I still love riding the Trumpet when I get it out, but the Kymco is just so all round competent!  Those bikers who refuse even to try a scooter are sooo missing out.
