Yep, Nathan. And I'll betcha parts for the SVs and GSs are a whole lot less expensive than Triumph parts too.(but I'm not gonna betcha much, as that's just a guess)
However, I suppose a Bonnie could act as a starter bike, and of course, the "pride of ownership" factor fits into this equation too, but I always hate to hear about people droppin' their Triumphs and scratchin' 'em up a whole lot more than I ever do a Suzook, (or for that matter, a Harley
), and "newbies" are kind'a inclined to do that a little more than experienced riders usually are, ya know.
(especially during their first 6 months of ownership)
