They have certainly come a long way since their comeback in the early 90's. :cool: I believe sold about 45,000 units+ worldwide last year. :thumb: ...and yes, I like the T120 Black as well! Beautiful fit and finish! :thumb:

Triumph is definitely on a roll. Saw that first hand when I got very high level Triumph USA attention to my STRX "engine dead" incident.
T120 Black was bike I wanted to sit on, and perhaps test last visit to Mega dealer in Houston, where I bought STRX. Rode in, even had on a keen Triumph shirt: promptly, and totally ignored by the young sales staff. Maybe they were warned away. T120 on looks was very impressive, but would prefer the non-murdered version, I think. Pretty heavy, but pretty impressive engine. Meh on radiator, but they did their best. Dealer is selling the new Bonnies as soon as they hit floor: says a lot given depressed Houston economy.
Dang what great videos! Inspires me to get my goPro out and focus some more on how to edit.
Wish the new V9s had a tachometer! I love having both dials. Need to look up weight comparison of T120 and the V9.
-
T120 = 494 pounds
V9 - 441 pounds

There are several "retro standards" on my radar. I don't have a Griso on the list because it's too close to my Hot Rod Scura.
New Bonneville:
BMW R9T
Honda CB1100
Cal 14 Custom: (Real mixed feelings here because of size. But I hear the weight disappears when riding.)
I've ridden Ron Boe's CB1100 and it's a sweetheart.

OK - Thanks for the clarification! :cool: Perfect little rig for hauling all one's camping gear!! :thumb:

I saw my first T120 that was out and about, not in a showroom. Very nicely done package.

I am really enjoying my T120 and although I really like the black and silver models in my mind the red/silver was like the Meridian years so I bought that color scheme.
-
The green thruxton is sharp: only one with matching paint on the tank , mudguards and side panels

This would be a great, reliable, cool all around motorcycle, and a compliment sitting next to any Guzzi in one's garage...(IMHO). :thumb: :cool:

Just bought a Thruxton R for myself last week. I've been deeply in love with my Griso for several years now but the Thruxton R may have stolen my heart.

On a related topic, if anyone is interested in a beautiful red 2007 Griso with carbon fiber Mistral pipes, drop me a line... :wink:

Great reviews. Thank you. I must admit I was impressed by the bikes too.

Dulcinea,
Selling your Griso? Really? Did you buy a Bonnieville? I think I saw you on the Triumph Rat forum.
