Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge Saw the new 2007 SM & BA at the NEC

I rode up to the NEC bike show yesterday & saw the new Speedmaster & America in the flesh ... IMHO I think the old ones look better. I don't like the new wheels they remind me of Honda Super Dream wheels & the rear peg hangers, well they just doesn't look meaty enough. Now the new Tiger looks very nice & I think the Triumph stand was excellent & seemed to be the busiest one there.

I went on the Hardly stand & I must say the new prototype 1200cc flat tracker bike is very nice & they said it is now in production. Shame they still use solid disks instead of floating ones but I guess that means more business for the after market boys

Had a great day out & the weather was brilliant for riding & I even managed not to hit the credit card but I have picked up some brochures for new Hagon shocks & other goodies!

my better half and i are going on Sunday, so ill be heading off to the Triumph stand and see what all the fuss is about, theres an old saying 'if it aint broke dont fix it' maybe they should have left well alone?, maybe it was 'broke ' after all?.
