New Bird

I sat on one today and they are real nice. They have 4 models on dispaly. I like the black the best. It makes 84.7hp and fish-tales straight back would suit the bike well. I don't like the up-swept pipes. They have one display with short pipes and it looks better!! The gas tank shape fits the bike. Its big!!! At least 5 gallons or better!!! The black one has all the tour gear installed. It looks like a real motorcycle!!! They will sell 10 to 1 over the Rocket IMO. Grey, Black and Blue on display.

gotta see the world, it will only take a minute

That sounds possible, not everyone can handle a Rocket or should, to those who are to be proud new owners of the "Bird" I am happy that they found the bike that is somewhere in the middle between the smaller displacement Triumph bikes and the Rocket. It should spike up more Triumph sales and for Triumph that is a good thing.

I think for the most part Triumph has done well on the Rocket and for most of those who have had issues with the Rocket, (at least as far as the powertrain is concerned) even if out of the warranty period, Triumph has backed up it's support. I know that all cases may not qualify, but they have gone above and beyond in a number of cases and that gives me a lot of comfort. It means I will more than likely remain a Triumph customer for my next bike...whenever that happens.

I just hope they either fired the person or retrained the person that installed those bearings in backwards and that he/she doesn't screw up again.
