35 Bikes ranging from $800 to 33K and this Bobber is my "Favorite" of all... I am so happy with the bike just as is. I usually spend a lot in accessories but so far I just haven't had a need. Throttle response and Torque are amazing. The only bike I have ever owned with a great stock seat. The avons are awesome, bike holds a line perfectly, I'm sure she is pretty lean but I have not had that indication. The exhaust is perfect, love the stainless exhaust and the golden color instead of blued headers but that's just me and I am pretty old school but just don't miss the blued look. Suspension for stock is way above average. Transmission is geared perfectly, 6 speed is nice. I was concerned the peg location would be too far forward for my lower back issue but it is just perfect. Kick stand with the lever is clever and pegs do not get in my way when coming to a stop. Handlebars are just right, at first I thought I would need some risers with the seat full forward but no need. Balance and center of gravity is right on. I think if Indian Larry was still around he would agree. She eats the twisties up and just puts a smile on my face. Just pick an entry point and she sticks it perfectly and rolls out of mid point with that torque just holding a line solidly increasing confidence level to push her to her limit. Every time I exit the bike I just scratch my head and say "Wow" Triumph nailed it. I personally love the small tank, allows me to get my knees in close when needed and the small headlight just adds character. Appearance, fit and finish competes with HD and Indian for a fraction of the cost. The paint on the competition green and silver is superior to many. I know know guys maybe this bike was just made for my stature. On the weekend I enjoy my finest single malt scotch whisky and a high end cigar, my Bobber fits in very well.
