Another really nice job by Triumph, with a night time party at Triumph Metuchen, unveiling the newest iterations of the Modern Classics. 300 people showed up, craft beer, nice food, complimentary beard trimming (????) some free swag and other goodies.
The Bobber screams hipster, (based on the age of the people seen gawking and straddling it after it was ridden in, more like 'hip-replacement-ster,') but it sounded great coming in, and it is finished beautifully. The Street Cup and new Street Scrambler are just exquisite bikes.
The dealer principal said they are sold out of 2017 Street Twins already, begging Triumph to up production. And if you order a Bobber now, you'll likely get it in August. The popularity of the new Modern Classics has surpassed their projections.
Bravo to Triumph for the marketing, accessories and dealer support of these machines. Whether you like them or not, or feel the CB1100 is superior machine, Honda should be embarrassed by they way they let such a great machine flounder in the market. The dealer is also a Honda store, and they have a few out of date CB's in crates. He's not heard anything regarding the new versions yet. Sorry for the weak photos, kinda dark in there.
