Your situation is much the same as mine was. I was looking at a Bonneville. I wanted a Black one. There was no dealer in my town at the time and this dealership had some stock of Triumphs in the back warehouse. I looked around the place and Lucy JUMPED out at me. I was there to look at a Bonneville but fell in love the minute I saw her. I do not regret my decision at all.
One of my best friends is about your height and a little heavier (too much beer)
. He bought one two years ago as his first bike and has been fine. 2002 is the 100th anniversary bike, I'm not sure what the value is but brand new it was about $8,000.00.
