 Just looks right proportionally.  Not a bobber kinda guy but I could own this just to look at!

Very handsome bike, really like it in black and white.  The bobber, on the other hand, looks ridiculous to me.

I think the Bobber is pretty cool looks better in person
But when ever i see someone on a Triumph Bobber reminds me of the riding style of the old /2 BMW

Chain would be a deal breaker for me if I was in the market for a new bike.

So true!  And feel same as Bad Chad re the Bobber.  But the new Speedmaster seems just right stylistically.

Of the new Triumphs, the one that looks best to me is the Sport Cup.  I'd be concerned that the lack of horsepower might cause me to lose interest after a few weeks, though.

I'm close to buying a new T120. Really nice bike, fits me really well.

That 1200 motor is really nice.
On another note, don't discount the 900 either.  Last June I followed the national sales mgr for Twisted Throttle, who is a very accomplished rider, all over Vermont on a Street Cup 900.  It was all anyone in the group could do to pace him.
It's always the rider unless it's a 1/4 mile drag.

Kinda like the guy last week on the 300 Versys that paced everybody in the twisties in WV.
