Well, my 2 cents on this DRAWN OUT sparing match,,, I say its a draw,
EVERYONE GO AND MEET AT DINQUAS AND DRINK HIS LATEST BREW...
........
Just for the record, my TBA is my third bike, 1.3 yrs old 16,000 trouble free miles on it.
As another note, My brother who is all of 5ft4/or5 just bought the 1200 sporty Low. He has tried 2 other bikes trying to find one that fit his style.(SIZE). first choice was a T-100 then a BMW 1200GS(way too big for him) I tried to get him on the america but he still felt it was too heavy.
he is very happy whith his purchase,,,,,Now I want to go and ride w/ him for the "Lets see who gets more attention at Hooters" factor.
The biggest thing I have run into is that since Triumph doesnt try to compeat w/ harlys advertising budget, and couppled w/ the fact they were gone so long,,,,, is that the "general population" of the USA hardly even knows who the company is. Idd love a great big union jack w/ the Triumph logo on the back of my trucks window. or maybe Ford could partner up Bloore and create a triumph F-150
I think if you really look at it,,,, WE MAY BE THE SNOBS
Im with the JUST RIDE crowd. I have had to ride a battered old 250 yamaha exciter during a Toy Run. Hell I had a blast! (It did actually perform better than a new buel blast, more rpm to play with and no rev limiter set TOOO LOW)
CHEERS
