OC: I love the retro styling Triumph puts into their bikes. Having owned a Bonneville. I'm a fan of the style and riding characteristics. Absolutely perfect for getting about in the city. The time on the Bonneville is the reason I'm still riding a Triumph. The linear power delivery is incredible and why I love my Daytona. The retro look might not be for everyone, but the look is timeless.

@@kish-river I personally am not very sensitive to wind blast, so I find it to be totally fine. Things do start to feel turbulent at 90+, but sustaining 80 for a couple hours is not bad at all. 70 is the sweet spot if you need to be on the highway all day. It loses that ballistic missile acceleration once you get above 80, but still has ample passing power up to about 100.

OC : I literally just bought this exact bike. It's pretty sweet and compliments my Street Triple nicely! I'm 5'8" 30" inseam... same issue with seeing the turn signal indicators... need to be brighter Highly suggest adding adjustable suspension! Front can be done for under $200, rears for $350-$1200 depending on your budget. Changes the whole feel of the bike. Picked mine up brand new for $10k.

OC: I test rode a Bobber and Thruxton R a few years ago with this 1200cc engine in them. Neither were bad bikes and the fit and finish was premium. While the Thruxton was more enjoyable to me than the Bobber, I ended up viewing both of them as more secondary, around town bikes which I wasn't in the market for. I gave them a shot but I'm into higher revving bikes that lean towards the sport end of the spectrum.

OC . . . I've got a Yamaha MT-03 that I've had since last year, and I absolutely loved it at first. I just actually came back from a trip where I rode 200 miles to go camping, about another 100 while I was there, and another 200 to get home (avoiding highways and taking the scenic back route, of course). Having said that, I'm thinking my next move up will be something like the Triumph Street Twin. I feel like the lower revs and torque for around town and shorter trips like that is where it's at. No big plans to do insane major distance riding as of now.
