My most interesting conversation around the CB was with a 40-somethng guy who had a CB1100F in his younger days, but had never heard of the CB750. I had a hard time convincing him that he wasn't looking at a tribute to the 1100F. I'll bet he was at the dealership the next day.
It doesn't take a Bonneville to flush out the Triumph people. You only need the Triumph badges on your tank. My Sprint GT (long-distance and 2-up touring bike) so far gets as much attention as the CB. There are plenty of 60/70-somethings out there that had Bonnevilles in the 1960's and 70's. Most of them don't know that Triumph has been back in business for 20 years.
