Yep. I demo'd one earlier this year and came away fairly impressed. It rode like a Sporty -- good, useable torque and easy to ride. Not sure I'd want to spend 300 miles/day on one, but for blasting around town and an occasional romp in the mountains, it'd be perfectly capable and loads of fun. I'm not into loud pipes but the noise coming out of the stock exhaust was pure music. Triumph did a nice job with the bike and I think the low price makes it a screaming value.

Triumph is trying to get those hipsters with the bobber. I can't stand the look of it with that tractor seat. And what the heck? Why are they calling it a "Bobber" that just seems a little desperate to me. They could have come up with a much better name.
The 1200 Bonneville is pretty cool! They are doing it right with the other models!

Tractor seat? Lol, yes, I have spent an hour or two on those, but the metal kind, inhaling Kansas sod all day. Good times.

My problem is every new bike I see, I want. But I can't. Might be able to swing a G310R if I trade one in, I think I could handle that.

HAhaha The Victory Gunner is a prime example of a bobber. It has a decent seat (non tractor) and the bike is called the "Gunner" not the Victory "Bobber" lol
