    Hi, Pretty sure most bikers are great people with Triumph owners no exception. I'll be owning a Sprint gt ,2011 in the very near future....trading in a 2008 street glide straight up. The h-d has 18,000+ and the Sprint just over 6,000 miles on her. I think it's a good deal ....kbb disagrees valuing the h-d as more expensive, but I don't care....I want a sportier tourer.

    Welcome in bill.
    I have a feeling you won’t regret the trade and the fact it’s pre 2014 it won’t have any fancy lectrics

    Welcome,

    Any Triumph has to be better than a Hardly Abelson. (Worlds fastest tractor).
