Welcome to the zoo Dan!What pulled me over to Triumph was I found a bike that had tradition and character.Just about every body makes a good bike but does not necessarily have the former mentioned.With the Speedmaster,America,Bonneville,Thruxton,and now Scrambler you add uniqueness to the equation.Because what I like about all of these bikes is that they are the only bikes made now that carry a parallel twin.So you get a reliable unique bike with the Triumph character and tradition but at a price a lot more affordable than a H D.
