Best Motorcycle Ever?

Steve Atlas of Cycle News, as far as I know no relation to Charles, calls the new Tiger 800 the best adventure touring motorcycle he's ever ridden, and one of the best motorcycles he's ever ridden, period.

The Tiger I rode made me feel like I was going to tip over forward if I stopped too fast.

Don't know about the new Tigers,
but I sure wanted to take that new scrambler for a ride today while I was at the dealers...

A fellow Captain is coming from Denmark to visit San Fransisco at the end of the week, we are going to hook up for a couple of days and I'm going to show him around, he was unable to rent a Rocket so he rented the Scrambler instead, I'm looking forward to giving it a spin
 
Those little Bonnie's are fun, they make you feel like you're riding on the beach in shorts and sandals.
 
Had a Bonnie as a loaner from the dealer not long ago and loved it. Just plain fun. Felt tiny though.
 
In a word - THRUXTON. Felt bicycle narrow and just begged to be tossed around. I haven't tried the new Tiger so I'll reserve some leeway (or is that Lee's way?).
 
Triumph has a good selection of bikes for sure.
Not locked into one style, like h-d.
just big an ugle with different chrome or paint.
We actually can get pretty close to whatever we want
and still remain brand loyal..
I like that myself..
