I had the tough decision to make also between a 1999 Kawasaki Vulcan drifter "indian clone" 1500 loaded with 1900 miles on it for $5200. Or my 03 TBA for $4900 with 8k on the clock.My friend told me that i better get the bike I really want because if price is the thing that makes up your decision you will most likely regret your purchase.Let me tell you that I AM SO GLAD I GOT THE TBA!!!to me now all kaws yams and hondas an suzuks look the same.Man go your own way!! Get the TRiumph you won't regret it.Plus anywhere you go people with gather and talk about your bike or that they had a triumph back in the day and so forth....
