Just curious, but does anyone on here have a Triumph? I'm looking into picking up a Thruxton sometime over the winter and was hoping someone could give me some personal pros and cons...

 

Pros

-cool looking bikes

-not many guys have them

-price, but not many competitors

 

cons

-hard to find replacement parts out side of filters, brakes, oils,, grips (normal items)

-almost no aftermarket parts out side of triumph catalog. the aftermarket parts that do exist are European meaning longer time to get and more money.

-there is only one triumph dealership in the area. moto ohio i believe.

Hmmm... I hadn't considered the whole parts issue. I have a '74 Honda CB550 right now, and I guess I've just taken it for granted that I can still get just about any factory part for it. You're right, dealerships are hard to come by. I'm in NC and the nearest one is about 1.5 hrs away. Thanks for the insight.
