I saw the scrambler yesterday, looks pretty nice in person also

Arai Quantum2 no stupid hipster bucket for me

With the pound going in the toilet after referendum to leave the EU, maybe they will get cheaper LOL

well doctor how's the patient?

forum looks different, hope they don't do the mass password dump the Ducati site did, total clusterf#ck

good point

True, but at the time it was the best reviewed/looking naked bike, and as for your Tiger 800, in that ADV style, looks as good or better than any BMW. I'm just not a form over function kinda guy, which is why the fake carbs on the Bonnevilles are just about the only negative I have to say about...

I had a Street Triple, first year, and I bought it for the styling and the random wheelies

Good points, and in the end it's semantics, though Triumph really milks the retro Ace Cafe nostalgia thing for all it's worth.

looks pretty but for that money you could buy a nearly new real bike

Actually we agree on that, just that I really don't like the term "retro", which I don't think it is. A modern bike in the classic style suits me and the bike better. I leave retro bikes to the skinny jean, flat hat crowd, to put electrical tape and header wrap on..........

Retro is like calling it a PT Cruiser, whereas neo retro is like it wants to be a PT Cruiser but didn't quite make it. I like the bike based on it's own merit and wouldn't buy one because it looked like the bike I had when I was young. I leave retro and nostalgia for those people who think the...

nice, an R or the regular? I looked at the non R the other day, it's 1800 cheaper in Canada but still a nice bike for those that don't need the Ohlins etc.

That might give the old Thruxton second thoughts about stopping in time.....

Having the bike in back should help the truck to hook up lol. Safe trip, Seattle is cool.

nice post, cool you met Jay, a gearhead's gearhead !

Hah yeah. Change is always hard on some. Doesn't take away from what came before, makes it more special IMHO which is why people pay big bucks for some old stuff.

I don't expect everyone to like them, but this is the "new Bonneville" site not the "new Bonneville air cooled" site. Just sayin'. I wouldn't like to see Triumph continuing to produce the same old, in the manner of HD, but having said that they still do make the old Thruxton, which looks more...

That would be a nice combo. First order of 5 R's sold out, second order due late May, 5 also, all sold. No more until end of year.

So has anyone scored one yet?

Glad you liked it. Starts a little slow but gets pretty good for sure.
