I think the out the door price for the sporty will be about 40% more than that of a Speedy.

The folks driving the 72 month loans known as big Harleys look down their nose at the sportsters.

Triumphs tend to look in their mirrors at Sportsters afer they pass them.

Personally, I really like the look of the lowered 1200s but:

Triumph is faster
Triumph is cheaper
Triumph as a 24 month unlimited warranty

****and drum roll please*****

Triumph is cool

I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
