Well after a $ 600.00 service I believe I'll keep the T'bird. As Rocky said I do like it ALOT.
Sat on a Bonnieville T120 and just too small for me. I am 6'2"(188 cm for our Metric savvy friends). Sat on a 2016 Harley Electra Glide they had there and even found the riding position cramped for me. I think the only other Triumph I would consider would be the Tiger 800 or Explorer 1200 as it has the required height for me to be comfortable on.
Damn, these new bikes and not being able to service them. I am pretty handy with a wrench but the T'bird is a different beast.
 
I have the same trouble i was looking at bikes yesterday and all the triumphs apart from the tigers and cruisers are tiny !! i didnt relise how small they are the bonnie only just sits higher than my knee and the street triple is terribly cramped for a pillion ..... but still nice to look at ;)
 
I have short legs so the Bonneville line fits me fine, but I can see where guys with long legs would be cramped.
That being said, I can't handle higher bikes like the Tiger or Explorer.
You win some, you lose some BGRIN
