In 2006, Triumph will replace the 650 Four-Cylinder with a triple in the 700-800cc range.

I’m still undecided if now is the best time to purchase such a bike, or cross over to the Sport Touring side and finally get a SprintST. Today, someone told me about a low-mileage Triumph SuperIII that was within four hours driving distance at a dealer north of me.

Maybe I’m not ready for fuel-injected …

A recent post by one of my friends on TriumphRat.Net, about the recent sales and stock drop at Harley Davidson, is making “virtual vultures” out of us. Who can blame us?

The economy is improving, but not without continued shifts in our corporate economy. This represents a significant portion of the revenue that has supported H-D over the last decade. Unless you are in a profession that thrives in change, such as a corporate attorney, purchasing a new VRod or Electra Glide isn’t a priority on your agenda.

Some people think this is the beginning of the end for H-D, it’s too early to tell. As long as girls continue to prefer DynaGlides over Thruxtons, it’s anyone’s guess.
