Since I am working at a bike shop again, I get to ride various machines. One that came in this week was a 2006 Triumph Bonneville for a tire change. I have wanted to ride one of these for a while, and finally got to. Very narrow with a low center of gravity, good off the line torque, a very comfortable riding position, and the most startling fact: no vibration. Counter balancer engineering at it's best! I really enjoyed it and would like to have one as a second bike, as I would never give up the XX. | ||

Yes, we should all own a triple, twin, v-four, in-line four, and all variations in between. I agree, never sell the Bird, just add to the stable.

I think the Triumphs are nice-especially their new Tiger.

I've all but given up on Ducati. But the BMW K1200RS screams at me for some reason.

Every time I pass the Beneli dealer, I have to stop and "drool".
