I'm with Ed. Seems very little bad (as in nada)has ever been said about the Triumphs. I, too, love the Monsters - But they and the Aprilia are Italian and not unlike myself, can be maintenance intensive. I love the sound of a Duc running through the gears, but, they sound like a tin can full of upolstery tacks at idle. IMMHO, you'll also get more balls for your buck with a Triumph.
