I hopy you guys all remember me? I'm the guy who pops up on all these mystery new Triumph posts to say how I'm perfectly happy with the displacement and configuration of good old Speedy. Someday, I may decide to go the big bore route, but I'm not sure it's worth it.
All of you guys who want a large displacement bike, there are plenty to choose from. Bikes with tons and tons of technology and available for a very good price. To me, Triumph will always mean an air-cooled, chain-drive, parallel twin motorcycle that is light and beats the pants off of similar bikes from other brands. That is what made the brand so famous and that heritage is what drew me to it when I was looking for a bike 4 years ago. I will have another bike or two, but will keep my '03 Speedy.
Women and cats will do as they please. Men and dogs should just get used to that fact and relax
