Well folks, looks like I bought my TBA'08 a little early. This is basically the styling that brought me to buy a Triumph vs. HD in the first place as a newbie, just more filled-out than the TBA but not 'bloated' (think Suzuki Boulevard). Not every detail perfect, but overall, just my liking. Been loving my TBA but this new TT has more what I wanted in the first place. For me only 'big' style issue is the front air cooler - wish it was hidden better, looks like the old VMax (if I recall). Maybe some side skirts that just hide if from side and front-angle more, but difficult with needed airflow. None of the TBA, TSpM Triumph cruisers are long-distance bikes in my thinking anyway. Of course any bike w/ acc. can be made for that, but for me just not what I have in mind to use it for. Having said that, of course its nice to be able to cover most uses you can to take money further. I can't afford 3 bikes myself. Anyway, nice cruiser for me and better looking than HD or others (new Vmax, etc...) in my opinion.
