Wow.

I think this bike will garner some rather polarizing opinions. Kudos to Triumph for building it.

 

[kmoney_imp]

I love this thing. It's pretty out there for a factory bike, but I think it looks sweet.

 

[the Ferret]

Not something I would buy, but I can see it being a decent seller for Triumph.

 

[emptysea]

This could be my third bike...once I buy a second bike....which will probably never happen.

 

[the_undecider_imp]

I love it, would like to see how that solo seat feels.

 

[flynrider]

It's a good looking bike. I wouldn't buy a single seat bike, but for those who wouldn't mind a single seater, this looks like a winner.

 

[EarsOnWheels_imp]

Triumph for the win, again!

They've got a PLATFORM.

 

[redbirds_imp]

Not my style but a great idea and will probably sell. Looks as though Triumph put a lot of thought into the design.

 

[Rocky_imp]

I've never been a fan of bobber's so it holds no appeal for me.

It looks cool except for the radiator. It's too bad triumph had to move to water cooling presumably to increase power and meet Euro4 emissions requirements.

The seat is said to adjust horizontally and vertically, very clever.

Not my cup of tea, but interesting variation on a late model Bonnie. I was hoping Triumph would have updated their Scrambler first. I wonder how much the 2017s new model Bonnevilles will cost?

I still love my 2015 865cc air cooled T100 and hope to keep it a while. I've made a few changes to it to suit myself, but hardly ridden it much this year. Unfortunately, I've been quite ill for several months and unable to ride. I miss it a lot as well as my CB1100.

my brother paid about $1450 plus tax I believe for his new Bonnie

$1450? No way. I'm getting two! Or was that in 1975

 

[Frulk_imp]

I have to say I find this bike very attractive. I've already put my wife on notice that I'm heading down to look at them as soon as they arrive at the dealer in Salt Lake City. I sent the link Ferret posted to my daughter who rides a 2015 Iron 883 and she said "Don't go down to look at it without me".

 

[metallyguitarded_imp]

I like it. Though I must admit, this initially came to mind ...

 

[emptysea]

my wife did not like it. my brother may start riding just so he can get this bike, or one like it. he's got too many expensive hobbies already, though, so i'm not holding my breath

$1450? No way. I'm getting two! Or was that in 1975

:rofl: 14.5. $ 14,500. Missed a decimal point or a zero lol

Lol You could probably buy one for $1450 in 1975
