the suspension on new Triumphs is only poor if you compare it to modern day sport bikes, it's on par with everything else in it's price range and it's much better than the 2 inches of travel that Harley gives you on some of their sportster models.
the NEW NEW Triumphs are looking really nice, the Street Twin (replacing the base Bonneville) looks awesome,
the new Thruxton R with the 1/4 fairing and upspec suspension is beautiful, it's tank looks more like the chrome tank you all love,it's not exactly like that but it's in the direction.
And despite the addition of water cooling, they've lost like 40 lbs.
oh and there's a 1200 cc option for the Thruxton and Bonneville T120, and if it wasn't for the spokes, I'd be seriously considering the T120 to replace my 2010 Bonneville.
