Why Triumph?
They're more betterer, that's why!

Seriously, that plastic fender is just one of the items that, taken together, add up to a bike 100-300lbs lighter than a Harley. That light weight, pays off in acceleration, agility, and ease of garage manuvers.
A veteran mechanic came back from a test ride on my Speedy saying, "I can't believe it, it doesn't vibrate! I can actually use the mirrors.

"
I ride about 300 days a year, rain or shine. A buddy of mine, long time Harley guy, saw me pulling in one morning during a downpour and said, "If you rode a Harley like that, sh*t would start falling off of it."
