Not that bad of a bike but won't compete with today's 600's.

Now, however, the field has moved on, with the new Honda becoming more sporting, though it's still got a way to go before hitting the R6's ergo neighborhood. This leaves the ZX-6R as the Triumph's closest conceptual competition against which, take it from us, the TT600 gets positively whipped. The Zed-X is a faster, smoother, lighter motorcycle that is among the best all-around 600s you can buy. Worse, at $8299, the Triumph is priced above its Japanese competition by as much as $200. In a cultural vacuum, we'd praise Triumph for a good first effort and, more convincingly, for stepping up and fixing its new child's most glaring problems. But this is a tough category, resolutely cutthroat and intensely competitive. Moxie alone is not enough.

didn't mean to rain on your parade just that like backlash said this is not the best place to ask about those. The website I provided has better info on oyur bike. And a 2000 for @k that sounds like a killer deal. Post pics when you got em.
