Triumph is a nice bike - it's not the same as the "original" triumph though - supposedly they're owned by BMW now or something. Hell I'd probably take one of them over a Harley. I personally think Harley's are overpriced and you're just paying for the brand more than anything else.
I just got my first bike a 1985 Nighthawk 650cc and already have looked into what I'd get if and when I decide to get a brand new bike. Triumph is definitely on the top of my list. The Bonneville though, is just too small for my 6 ft 2 inch frame, even though it packs a 865cc engine (bigger than my 650 - but the older 650 was a big bike at that time - 4 cylinders, etc) Of course that's a long long way away - I might get a Honda Shadow or something. I just can't see dropping upwards of 15K for the "name" Harley Davidson. ----- Original Message ---- From: Chuck D <[email protected]> To: Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 3, 2009 6:18:35 PM Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] After The Nighthawk I've had trouble imagining what I would ride after the Nighthawk. The new stuff does not appeal to me! But this weekend, I started researching the Triumph Bonneville, My '99 NH has many miles to go, but it's nice to know there is a similar, distant Standard cousin out there. http://www.triumph.co.uk/usa/Triumph%20Bonneville%202009_9918.aspx --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
