Triumph 3TA weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

This is middleweight territory: substantial enough to feel planted, but still well short of heavyweight touring and large-cruiser mass. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.
