Kevin, we've been hearing about the imminent arrival of the Triumph "big twin" since I got my bike about 18 months ago, almost 10,000 miles ago. And I'm guessing the rumors were flying even before then.
Imagine if instead of getting the Speedmaster I decided to wait for the Big Twin. After all, I was told it would be here any day. Now we're being told 18 months MORE.
And to top it off, it's entirely likely it'll be made in Thailand!
Hey look, if they make it in 12 months, in Hinckley, I'll be VERY interested. But I really would like a bigger cruiser for next riding season and I'm not willing to wait until 2009 on a "maybe".
I love my Speedmaster and I would never sell it.
But buyer's remorse with a brand new 100/6 Victory? Hardly.
