The Triumph vertical twins are great mid-size cruisers. Nothing more, nothing less. I love mine.
But after putting 12,000 miles on the Speedmaster and taking a couple of Victory test rides, we decided to get a Victory. Simply put, it does everything better than the Speedmaster. Power & handling are superior. Fit & finish are excellent. If you think you turn heads on a Triumph, you should see the reactions I get on the Victory. The dealer & buying experience was first class. But I've kept the Speedy for solo riding & commuting.
Is Triumph stupid? Maybe. They're showing up (someday?!) at the big-cc cruiser party pretty late. They better bring a hot date.
