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.

Are Triumph motorcycles the best motorcycles in the world?

If thats what you have and it is fairly dependable , then ,yes! Your BIKE is the best bike in the world

Are Triumph motorcycles the best motorcycles in the world?suzuki

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

Are Triumph motorcycles the best motorcycles in the world?virus

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.

Triumph Bonneville T100 or a Harley XL Sportster Low Basic / Nightster?

Any suggestions? I'm liking the Thruxton too...

My price range is $8500 max.

Thanx gearheads!

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...

Triumph / Rick Emmett / Eric Clapton fans...?

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.

Triumph / Rick Emmett / Eric Clapton fans...?spyware

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.

Triumph Street Triple as a first 'bigger bike'?

Hi there. I'm after peoples' advice on getting my first 'big' bike. I'm 24 years old, 5'11, male, 14 stone. I've had two bikes before; a 50cc when 16 and a 125 that I've used on and off since then. Mostly been driving a car in the past 5 years. To be honest I haven't done much riding over the past couple of years as I have been traveling with work. I'm torn between the Honda Hornet 600 and the Street Triple. Leaning more towards the Street Triple though. What do experienced bikers think? Also am I making too much of a leap power-wise? I'm generally a level headed guy, not prone to random acts of stupidity! I'd like to think I could treat it with respect. Am I being naive? Any help would be much appreciated? Cheers

Triumph ';newchurch'; austria?

anyone going (esp from norfolk)?

also anyone know anything i should know about motorcycling in europe ie , cops,documents , and generally things you know that i dont want to find out about the hard way??

For example i was told that petrol stations dont accept credit cards??

Triumph ''newchurch'' austria?spyware removal

I've biked and driven in Europe quite a bit now - I've not had problems with credit cards. One problem you might have is extended lunch breaks, particularly in more out-of-the-way bits of France. Get fuel in the morning if you might need it. Not a problem on toll roads.

The stopping Aires (can't be certain of the spelling now) have mixed facilities. Some just provide toilets, some full services.

People tend to pull out of the way for bikes more - which is nice.

toll roads are much quicker - but less interesting. If you've got the time use some of the main non-toll routes, just to make a change. I've found people in out of the way places to be quite friendly.

If you pack well you can bring back a dozen bottles of wine in your luggage.

Keep all your documents with you when driving. They can be keen on insurance and ownership.

Belgian drivers seem to be the worst! Like your Gran on speed.

Triumph Bonneville 750 T140V 1973?

Your thoughts on the above machine please

Triumph Bonneville 750 T140V 1973?security

the 73 was not a good yr, regarding the electrical......but triumph and norton were famous for poor chargeing systems.. don't let this hold you back buying one if it's in decent shape....... they got lots of torque, so 2 up is no problem... brakeing is only fair , vibration is not bad .... I had several english bikes over the yrs. .....bsa and royal enfield were my favorites .......parts for all these are easy to get and prices are reasonable..., a bonnie would be a good choice for a female of a lighter build..... big enough but not bulky , plenty of power but not radical , easy to work on , not hard to start thanks to the amal concentric bowels ( carbs.....hope this helps a little.......Daryl

If your thinkng of buying do so harder and harder to get. Time work and money can sort any problems out.
I would give my left nut for an old Bonny. Bob that **** and ride it hard. If you put the time into it, then you are sure get your time out of it. Hells yeah babe, get that bike and you will have a nice little scoot. If you need any help with the project, just let me know, all I charge is the beer...
I think it's a motorcycle. What do you want to know?
Nice chassis........................OH U MEAN THE BIKE!!!! thought u meant your pic ;) lol
I had one of these when it was 2 years old, absolutely hated it, the engine was pretty good but overheated, electrics were pretty crap and the chrome on the wheels not much better than italian chrome. Spent a lot of time getting the thing sorted but the engine was very good and had a lot of potential for tuning.

In the 80s I loved them too,and seen them in concert,great show

Triumph who likes them..I personally love them?triumph

They got a bad rap for being ''Rush wannabes'', but they have other songs that are very good. ''Hold On'', ''Fight the Good Fight'', ''Somebody's Out There'', ''I Live For the Weekends''. Hell, yeah!
Magic Power is one of my all time favorite songs!
wow, havnt even heard their name in yrs....love them!
I remember them. They are Canadian and much better than the other Canadian band who was big back then - RUSH. I used to have a tape by them - Allied Forces. Rik Emmett is great on guitar.
never heard of em
The Sport of Kings is their best album, in my opinion. I have had it since it was first released. I have at least 6 of their CD's
The period from ''Allied Forces'' to ''Thunder 7'' was very good, but ''Sport of Kings'' was a complete and utter sellout from which their careers never recovered.

Rick Emmett is an awesome guitarist and a good singer--the bassist and drummer were good, but nothing special (That's where Rush always had the advantage) A lot of their songs have not aged well, but there are still some classics--especially from Never Surrender and Thunder 7

Triumph American vs Harley Sportster 2007.?

Does anyone out there have an opinion which bike is a better bike? Or, is it just a trade off. I've got the money - I'm just not sure which would be the best buy. Reliability vs what... I've been riding dirt bikes all my life. . Now I'm taking to the streets.

Triumph American vs Harley Sportster 2007.?pop up blocker

i like both quite alot myself.... have a sportster 1200. sounds like a tough decision.... this one is probably gonna be a pure preference thing on your own part, any other answers from here will only come from bias.

my 2 cents say that if you like to monkey around with your ride yourself alot, the sportster might be the choice that gives you more options because of all the aftermarket choices available to it over the triumph.... other than that, it'd be a pretty close call.... both have well respected names and histories, both price comparably, both will have good resale, neither are japanese.

harley will likely be faster to get parts/service around the country just because of a better dealer infrastructure, but if there is a triumph dealer in your city and you don't tour anywhere it's irrelevant..

good choices!

Triumph American vs Harley Sportster 2007.?systemworks

I'm not sure you can get a purely unbiased answer to this question because motorcycle brand allegiance can be intense and too impassioned. This comes from a Sportster rider who loves his bike, but also likes Triumphs. I don't have much riding experience with Trumps however, so I suggest you follow this link for a pretty good perspective of the bikes side by side (Sportster vs. Bonneville in this case).

Triumph dolomite j reg, could it be worth anything?

it all depends on condition if it is a sorry state it will be worth nothing at all.

you will probably find there is no in between price unless you find someone who really wants one

Triumph dolomite j reg, could it be worth anything?nortonantivirus

It would be worth quite a lot as they were never available on J plates!

Are you sure it's not a Triumph 1500?

Triumph dolomite j reg, could it be worth anything?spyware

only if you can find someone who wants it
It has to be in ''Good Nick''. The only way that you can try your luck is through the mag ''Classic Cars''. You can get this from any high street shop, say, Tesco's.
An 1850 in good order could be between 拢1000 %26 拢2000.

A 1500 a bit less and a 1300 less still.

Now if it was a Sprint it could be more.

Triumph daytona 675 for beginner?

i know its a larger bike than most suggest but i really hate the idea of buying a bike just to have to sell it in a couple months.

i would even rather put a granny on it, if i feel the need.

if i'm not stupid, start slow, and know my limits, does anyone see a SERIOUS problem with this? thannx.

by the way, if u havent guessed, i have minimal riding experience. i do drive a stick on a daily basis though.

Just remember that it is up to you to have the mental dicipline to keep this bike under control. You'll do fine if you remember this thing can really take off on you.

You will be impressed with the handeling, with the torque and roll-on ability. Just take your time, work into it and have fun.

Dont go mad with it the first day,sure-fire way to have an accident.Just go easy on it until you know what its capable off.Realistically,it should be good for 160mph so its not going to be a slouch by any means.Nice bike choice btw
My first street bike was a Kawasaki KZ 1000 back in 1977. Lots of people learn to ride on Harley Davidsons. A 675 should be fine for learning. Do yourself a favor and take a rider safety class.

Triumph Bonnevilles. 1972 Meriden T140 or 2001 Hinckley T100?

Which would you go for? The origional iconic bike that defined an era of cafe racers in the late '60s and early '70s. The sort of bikes owned by the ''rockers'' in Quadrophenia. Lots of character that came with oil leaks and breakdowns, but also prestige and pride of ownership. Or the ''modern classic'' retro? Comes with all the reliability and ruggedness of a modern motorcycle, but somehow (despite the fact it looks very similar) lacks the character and rider/machine bond the origional created?

So Origional or modern replica?

At least both are British designed and built!

Triumph Bonnevilles. 1972 Meriden T140 or 2001 Hinckley T100?norton ghost

I certainly wouldn't want a Meriden T140, so of the two I'd have to plump for the 2001 Hinckley T100......even though I haven't seen or ridden one. It has to be better than the T140, just HAS to be. ( I think the pre unit construction Bonnies were the best, late 50's/early 60's)......... :-)

Triumph Bonnevilles. 1972 Meriden T140 or 2001 Hinckley T100?software

I own both vintage and modern motorcycles. There's something unique about pulling up to a group of riders on a vintage bike. Even die hard H-D enthusiasts come over and shoot the bull with you. Riding a vintage bike makes you appreciate modern machinery so much more on long rides.

Triumph Spitfire headlamp surround?

Hi.

I have to change one of the headlamps on my 1972 Spitfire, but can't see how to remove the cowling which surrounds it.

The car has had some bodywork done before i bought it, so there is the possibility that someone put filler over a screw head or rivet.

Can anyone advise me how to do it?

Have checked rimmer brothers site..it lists the part and has a pic, but no evidence of how to remove it (it is part 911 102)

picture reference:

http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/spitfire/ima...

Triumph Spitfire headlamp surround?norton antivirus

You are removing part # 911101 or 02 based on the Rimmer ref. You will need to remove three bolts to remove the headlamp surround. You will need to raise the hood to access them. One bolt is at the bottom front edge of the hood and about two inches in from the front of the surround. The other bolt is located next to the lower outside nut that holds the headlamp housing in the hood. Third bolt is on the inside the front of hood close to where the wiring harness is tucked-away.

Don't be fooled by the avatar - this was written by my hubby, a Triumph Spitfire expert!

-----------

Edited to add the third bolt

Triumph Spitfire headlamp surround?security

John K is good, but also add that some of the models didn't have a screw, they were just pushed on.
The screw for the chrome surround is at the very bottom of the lamp.Not uncommon for it not to be there as it rattles out.Start at the bottom if its not there? and use a flat bladed screwdriver between the trim and the headlamp bowl and it should spring off,hope this helps,
