[QUOTE="Fly Bye, post: 1025884, member: 28310"] Being an old fart, I kind of have a thing for the nostalgia type motorcycles. I found myself looking at the 2012 Triumph line up at a local dealership. Although this new generation of Triumph's have all of the refinement of modern motorcycles such as disk breaks, fuel injection, and dohc in a very nicely packaged motorcycle, I was not impressed at the bph/ft.lbs numbers. I looked up the specs on the Thruxton , Scrambler and Bonneville T100. All have the same 865 cc motor with bph at 67/68 and the torque range at 50/51 ft.lbs. I did not ride one so I can not speak about how they feel on the road, however I don't understand why they did not build motors with higher performance. At a price tag hovering at around $10,000 I was expecting to see more. So what do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
