    Watcha guys, partially new to Triumph not new to bikes, had a few bikes in the past....worst bike was a Triumph Tiger Cub! lol! Then a CB 125 then a 450 Honda Nighthawk lovely bike that was! Then a Kawasaki Vulcan Classic 1500 for a few years, I come out of Westcliff on Sea Essex not got a bike yet but looking for a Boniville America 865 there’s one going at a local shop thats been ratted (08 model) so will pop along there tomorrow to see if its worth buying or save up and get a decent newer model.

    Thanks for all the help you lads will give me in the future!! hahahahaha!!

    Welcome to the forum! If you haven't been riding for a while, the America is a good choice - it's very 'well behaved' and easy to manage on the road. It's a little short on torque and you may, or may not like the seat for a longer run.

    Welcome here! Very curious about the bike. And you don't know this yet, but always say you got a black bike, even though it's blue and white ;)
