I looked at both Harley Davidson and Suzuki when I bought my TBA. I liked the idea of riding a bike that was different than the rest. The parallel twin motor and the mystique that comes with the name Triumph sold me over the rest. (That and the fact that I could get the bike at a considerably lower cost than the Harley!) I haven't regretted my decision. I love the bike and the way it rides. I have had one problem, (the airbox blew up!) but with that aside, I couldn't be happier. Now I'm entering the phase where I am ready to take the bike away from complete stock and start some performance mods. The more time I spend on this forum, the more I learn and the more I want to make some of these fun changes!
