florence:
I've always fancied one of these.  Does anyone have one or owned one in the past and can tell me what they are like.......

SteveD CB500K0:
I think the used market gets mopped-up by the chopper builders. Parallel twin with Japanese engineering.

mick:
Mate of mine has one as his daily rider never seems to have any trouble with it heard them called the japanese Triumph  ;), cheers Mick.

Bryanj:
No Mick, might have been the Japanese Reliable Triumph tho'

SteveD CB500K0:
Nowadays, Triumph make the reliable Triumphs.

In 2010 they made more bikes (60,000) than the best year ever in the "old" Triumph.

I went out on a Speedmaster today while they were fitting a set of Pilot Road 2s to my Sprint. What a hoot!
865cc parallel twin, 60bhp, highway pegs...

Picture coming soon.
