I always amazed how popular the new Bonnies are, nostalgia must still play a big part in people's buying decisions.
Well Molly I use to fell the same way when riding my Bonneville with my Harley riding friends. Had fun but compared to them well you get the idea. Never wanted a Harley after that. ;D :BEER:Matt
I've owned two Triumphs over the past decade, a 2007 Tiger 1050 and a 2009 Bonneville. Both were great bikes for totally different reasons. The Tiger had what had to be the best engine ever made, a 1050cc triple, with a perfect torque curve providing grunt from the first twist of the throttle all the way up to the red line. It was also gorgeous looking, though a little top heavy for a road bike, which became a problem after I broke my ankle in a non-motorcycle related accident.I traded the Tiger for the Bonneville for two reasons; first, it was much lower and stable and, second, it offered huge opportunities for modification. I spent the next five years making the Bonneville uniquely my own with appearance changes and engine upgrades that took me from the basic 56 hp to 71 hp. It was a fun bike to ride, but I had reached the point where, in my humble opinion, any further modifications would detracted from the look of the bike. So I traded it for the beautiful '15 MG Griso that now sits in my garage.Overall, I rate Triumph design, performance and build quality as better than most Japanese companies, with Yamaha perhaps being the exception. None of Triumphs bikes are boring, and at the end of the day, that is what counts.
Way to enjoy riding a Harley is to never ride with anybody else who rides one. Works for me.
Is it just me, or do the multitude of visible bolts on the engine case distract others? My bud has a Street Triple, would lose my license in 2 months if I rode it.
The bolts are made of unobtanium and are the only ones that can hold the warp drive in place. :BEER:
Hey Darren you should bring the thruxton to the rat raid in jasper.
Rather bring the Street Triple R! ~;
Always liked those bikes and I prefer the single head light over the animated version.
