My wife has sat on all these bikes, except the GS500. They are all sportbikes or cruisers. The Savage/S40 is the closest she found to a standard Bonneville/Yamaha650/Honda750 type bike. She doesn't like crotch rockets and she doesn't like the cruiser style either. She did sit on a Heritage Softail and loved it. But she became almost ill because she's the one who made me realize I would only be happy with a Triumph since she taught me to hate the 3 Harleys I've owned in the past. First one, I spent all my time trying to keep it running. Second HD consumed all my money trying to keep it running. The third one cost me time and money trying to make it faster and make it shine, then it fell apart at 25,000 miles. She wants a standard/classic motorcycle. I guess I'll have to settle for a Honda Dream 305 and pay way too much for it. I still think there's a market there, if Triumph would just advertise their goods.

Ride Safe, Dennis Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.
