How good are these bikes, i know their 3 cylinder but how do they match up to the 600cc bikes such as CBR 600 and kaw 636??
triumph is a great motorcycle company, my first bike was a triumph and my step dad has a daytona and he loves it. my mom loves it more shes the biker babe of the family.
No. Triumph is a privately owned company.
Not that I know of. Triumph is a different corporation. Stellican owns Indian Motorcycle, they basically made another clone of Harley.
what about a harley?
their nice bikes.
Good quality and classic looks. Speedmaster is on the horizon for me. If I was buying a bonny it would be the america.
nothing but junk
I looked at these in the showroom. The styling is pretty nice, but the finish is poor compared to other European marques (Aprilia, MV Agusta, BMW, Ducati, etc.) and Japanese brands. The cylinder heads looked bead-blasted. The plastic still had mold marks. The wiring (always an issue with Brit machines) was not as tidy as I would like. And the whole thing looked, I dunno, rough.
It may be a fine machine. I didn't test ride it. But it is not as well or carefully put together as other brands.
Except Hardley Driveitson or Buell - those POS make Triumph look like jeweled Swiss watches.
But get what you like, then you'll like what you get.
Sorry.
I don't know much about Triumph, but I do know that the America is a good looking motorcycle.
Great classic looking bike and you won't have to wear all that junk from the Harley boutique.
It you toke the time and seat on it and it feel good for your first bike or 2nd one that good and Triumph has a resale on it.
But feel you need to be in the ground with H/d-ride because you are going to said where are all the woman that H/D ride said they have.
If thats what you have and it is fairly dependable , then ,yes! Your BIKE is the best bike in the world
The reason the question was put like that was because in the 1970's that was the slogan of Triumph in the UK.
Triumph the best motorcycle in the world. Thank you all for your opinions. Report It
Nice bike, great cruiser, best no, British products tend to be pretty defective, especially the electronics. Love the bike. I would suggest the BMW is a much superior bike, can't beat german engineering and craftmanship.
They were the cat's a** back in the '60s. Don't know a thing about the new ones.
no that would be Indian in my opion, and every rider will have there own opion of what bike is the best in the wolrd. to each his own.
No. Its a good motorcycle, but not the best. Honda is the last word in quality and reliability.
Are apples better than oranges?
It all depends on your personal taste in riding and what the purpose of the bike is. Triumph has a cruisers and sport bikes, and yes, they do make a nice product.
no bmw makes the most reliable bikes made.
if its best in the world, it should win on MotoGP. currently yamaha, honda %26 ducati is da best on the track.
Any bike that YOU love is the best in the world. No one brand fits everyone.
Triumph has had it's issues with electronics in the past, but their quality is improving. Their new Daytona 675 has received a lot of great reviews. I do think that they have come a long way in the past 12 years.
Any suggestions? I'm liking the Thruxton too...
My price range is $8500 max.
Thanx gearheads!
Triumph! Way more class!
check out my site and let me know if these bikes are what you have in mind.

If you get the Harley you'll need to spend an extra $1500 on HD licensed clothing and accessories. Get a Triumph - everyone has a Harley.
Triumphs have tested better, will probably hold a little better resale value than a Sporty... there's SOOO many Sporties out there %26 nobody loves them for too long; always have to move on to something bigger or trendier. You can get a Sporster for under $85000 though, easy... especially if you're willing to buy barely used.
I like the Triumph Bonneville ''Scrambler'' and the Bonneville Black. The Thruxton looks nice but for me the handlebars are too low.
If you get the Harley you will spend a fortune adding custom parts to it, S+S air filter, louder pipes etc.
Get the Triumph. The Bonneville has more character than any HD out there. I've ridden the current Bonneville and I have to say I was really impressed with its power and handling. I expected that it was all looks but I was completely wrong. Did you notice that the one HD supporter basically said he likes the HD because he's accepted? An individual, just like everyone else...
This legendary guitarist is currently on his 'Rick Emmett Plays Eric Clapton' tour. I just bought tickets a few minutes ago for his February show. It's a great little venue...a community centre which holds around 250. I saw Johnny Winter there last year...front row!
Are there any other fans of Rick out there? Will you be going to this show? I know he's touring Canada...not sure about the US though.

Hi Smiley..
well I heard little Triumph songs...I know they are from Canada but maybe they never made a super band and worldwide success because of Rush.
Of Clapton I know much, much more.
He is one of my favorite guitarists EVER.
When I hear him play the blues is the times I think of esoteric stuff, as I really believe he was from Georgia or Alabama in some past life. The guy plays and sings blues like an African/American...I think he is BB King's next of kin... spiritually. I'll ask a question now related to that....
good night now my friend and sweet dreams are made of these...
edit to Smiley..
very impressive ! Tomorrow I'll check out his stuff in Itunes and than order a CD from my record store!! Also he seems a nice guy, in the picture he looks like a son of actor Nick Nolte, but with a softer expression.
