I love this bike so much that I gave up three other bikes to get it. When not riding it, I keep it in the living room. It does not have the handling or power of a sportbike, the comfort of a touring bike, or the (insert whatever you want here) of a cruiser. What it is, is a very good all around bike. You might even call it (should I dare say it) a standard.
It is good at everything, not great at anything, except providing it's rider with the most fun that is possible to have on a street motorcycle. Its looks have a lot to do with that. If it were just another modern looking bike, it would be competent enough, but dull and boring, like pretty much every other bike out there.
The looks of this bike simply blew me away. It's been a long time since I've seen a new motorcycle that actually looked like a motorcycle. I am constantly getting compliments on it; most people think it's a restored classic.
I'm 50 years old, have had a zillion motorcycles, but I honestly believe this Triumph will be my last one.
BTW, pictures do not do it justice. Go and look at it in the showroom. If you have any interest at all in a motorcycle of this type, I almost guarantee you will buy it. Way to go Triumph. It's been a long time coming, but it was definitely worth the wait.
