I could give a rodent's hind side what anyone else thinks! I bought my bike for ME, and for ME to ride. I did however do some comparison. So my reasons were this, I liked the style, the specs, and the price and didn't want something that everyone else had. Yes, now since owning this great machine I have become a huge fan of Triupmh, but I didn't but her for here name. If it was still the same bike made by Stanley Tools I still would have bought her. That said, the Triumph name does have a lot of history behind it and I beleive that they've been around this long cause they know what they're doing. Yes there have been headaches and heartbreaks, but thats true with anything worthwhile.

Like its been said before, come to BA.com for the bike stay for the people.
