[QUOTE="BkerChuck, post: 1226772, member: 29320"] I like the Triumph Trophy. That being said, the sheer number of horror stories I've read from owners regarding fork seals, charging systems, and ridiculous waits for parts would be enough to scare me away from actually owning one. I spent several years working part time for a dealership that handled Harley Davidson, Buell, and Triumph. The dealership owners dropped Triumph several years ago because of the troubles we'd experienced in dealing with them. Someone picked up on the available franchise and opened a Triumph only shop nearby. That lasted less than 5 years before he threw in the towel. Recently, the Yamaha dealership I deal with near my home has added Triumph to their line up of brands. They're doing okay with them but the parts guys whom I know fairly well still relate horror stories to me regarding timely arrival of parts orders and mislabeled parts. YMMV. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
