Featured Triumph Or Harley Hmmmm....

I used to have the Sprints but they got faster and I got slower so went back to the start and had the Bonneville. But I do love the triples.

To me Harley and Triumph Bonnies are very different. Nothing to compare. Size and more important style. You can listen to the Clash and buy a Harley, and you cant listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd on a Triumph.

 

Well I've just done a deal and my T120 is going this week which I'm really pleased about. That will more than likely be my last Triumph - too many warranty issues and a pretty bland machine at that which left me uninterested in riding. Time to move on.

 

Good luck with your next bike and manufacturer....

Thank you

 

I've got to hold my hands up and admit I didn't..................

 

I've got to hold my hands up too, in the past i never used to bother with test rides as any bikes I've bought i knew i wanted,however i did test ride several bikes before buying the speed triple, i took most of them out for a good couple of hours,i didn't really need to do this as i had pretty much decided on either the Ducati Monster or the triumph, but i just thought i would have a bit of fun on the other bikes! there's only ever been one bike i didn't like and that was a Honda shadow that i hired when on holiday, but i think that was probably because it had been used and abused and everything was knackered on it!

 

Have you tried the bonnie t100. I have a 2010 model and I love it. It has attitude and it handles accelerates and between my t100 and t120 I will take the 100 all the time. Only thing I had to change was the rear shock as I found it a little soft for my liking. But I had a set of Hagon nitro's I'd taken of my Harley and they were perfect.
Ride Safe.

Ive got a t120 and a HD xl1200c sportster anniversary model 2003

They are as good as each other. Nothing to split them. The harley is a bit comfier on long runs.

No other bikes ride and feel like them

Actually the harley is my Mrs's bike but she hasnt past her test yet so I get to ride it lol.

 

What a wonderful term of phrase. You have stated perfectly the way I felt about the Triumph Bobber gear shift when compared to my BMW F800ST. The F800 is still a good machine and I like it, but Triumph have some very good engineers too.
