Thanks for putting copy of manual on , i like my recent buy lt 1700 year 2016 but after viewing the manual i wonder where we are going to get the expertise and parts to keep these bikes going .

This mainly applies to the older style 1600cc T'birds(2009+). Can't recall now if it covers the 1700 that came in the Storm.
The LT and Commander models had a different frame, airbox and seat as well as tune. The LT and Commanders also have a locked ECU only accessible from a Triumph dealer.
Uniqueness has it's drawbacks.
Liked my LT when I had one, but wanted something a bit more suitable for our great(sarcasm) roads here, and the ability to wander down some dirt once in a while.

Engine just seems to be over engineered, i am from the era where you could strip and rebuild a triumph engine before your breakfast and go for a ride after,

I must have a slow metabolism. Would take me several weeks to strip and rebuild my Meriden engine. Or maybe you have leisurely breakfasts?

Still, know what you're driving at. Riding at? More people should consider a 70s Triumph maybe instead.

Every single part available as new or used spare at good price. Only need a few spanners to keep it going.

Bikes don't seem to have progressed much anyway. I get 65mpg, more power than I could use, it's 0-60 in five seconds still blasts a lot away on the roads, pretty light in weight, tax-free as vintage, it's MADE IN MERIDEN.
