Quote: Well said Satxron, and while I was one of the people who voted no, I still went out and ordered a new Speedy yesterday. I believe in my original post I said no, only if I had no choice, well I had no choice, I wanted the new Speedy! I still wish however they would assemble them at Hinckley.
I got a funny feeling that as time passes you won't be the last person to say this after stomping up and down and swearing to the heavens that I will never buy another Triumph. The answer is quite simple. Those that swear that they will go to Harley$$ have forgotten how blasted expensive they are(except for the Sportster and they are not in the same league as our bikes) For the ones hollering they might as well get a Jap bike have obiously not looked at any lately(I have still yet to see any Jap bike come close to Triumph's style) Then there is the parallel twin factor(which is one of the major reasons many of us are America or Speedmaster owners including myself) Oh by the way I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying that you are going to be hard pressed to find another Motorcycle manufacture that makes a parallel twin engine. So when the time comes to get another bike folks are going to find that the others just fall short of Triumph's unique qualities and find that there is little or no other option than to get another Triumph. So I think that Triumph will be quite alright in the end. I'm also quite sure that if Mr. Bloor is reading any of your "I will never buy another Triumph again" rants He will not be loosing any sleep or crapping bricks over it.
