I think we're in a bit of a golden age now with some very nice choices for bikes to choose from. Sometimes at the dealer, sometimes in the garage.
Back when the Triumph had to originally compete with Honda the choices were more stark. From a performance, practicallity, price point and quality point of view. Today the playing field is a lot more level so we can make choices on purely an emotional level - and not really be wrong.
I see this at Sunday coffee, we seem to spend half our time sitting, drinking joe and BS'ing and half the time "leaving", walking around the parked iron and admiring what the other guys rode in on.
