This new Triumph is one of the best looking,non freakish, non-jap cruisers I have seen released. A bit more motor maybe, but a cheap way to get a unique, fonzie-esque ride! If you really wanna get picky, you can get late model Valks here for 9K OTD at several shops, but then, you have to deal with Valk looks, love em or hate em. I don't think any one can say this new Triumph is not very proportional and smooth looking...Understated cool. AYYYY!
