Which Would You Pick?

My bucket list included a Triumph but the bucket was only big enough for a Bashan Blaze. If Iam still here next spring Ill have had all winter (I hope) to trick it out. That is a dream bike jb. Congrats!

Recently sold the Scout, and bought the T-100 version of the Triumph Bonneville... same engine/transmission as the Street Cup but in an "old man" form...




As far as the Yamaha and Street Twin, having ridden V-twins for many years, IMO, the parallel twin of the Triumph is a smoother, more refined engine than the Yamaha.....but some may like a bit more rumbling of the V-twin engine.

there are a lot of late model versions of this available for good prices, so it would be my starting point. from there I can customize where I want.
