San Diego Triumph dealer is advertising on Craigslist? That alone is almost as sad as those bikes. Far cry from the Triumph I remember and hard to imagine it's the same company that made the Rocket I saw recently (tho I still have questions re its aluminum frame).
Those are shiny little toys.
And I see our beloved site here is withering away again. That's sad to see, too.

(sds on CL) As to the bike, i see nothing wrong with it aside from being small which i think would be nice to have. I already have a big bike. A small 70 MPG bike just to put around the mountain roads here as a sort of sightseeing bike would be great. I think they have about the same HP as the royal enfield which i was considering. But a triumph with the same price tag and triumph quality would be a lot harder to resist as i have the enfield for a long time now. I like the look a lot better too. But what i really want is to see whats in store for 24' besides these.

(Re: daz) | | | If this type of machine brings new and younger people to the brand then that's great, if it keeps the company going long enough for someone to grow some balls and bring out another muscle cruiser then that would be even better.

These days most would rather ride the couch and stare at their " smart" phones than to get out on something that takes skill, and a little nerve to master. Most of us are not of this generation , WE LIVE WHILE THE REST WATCH LIFE .
