Dave, i hate to do this to you because i know you're love of red triumph cruisers and how you like the Tbird. But man, i swear i was actually considering selling mine for this new model. It's the 1700 engine. Got a amazing paint job, more vintage like triumph tank badge, smaller front wheel with bigger tire which i thought i'd hate bit i am LOVING it. The seat looks really nice, those the pillion has to come off ads i did with mine. I like the dual lights and the shrouded forks both on the legs and that shroud the light fit on. But i couldn't really do it because there are things i don't like, some of which are not changeable, the major one being the almost certainty that the ECU for '14 with be locked so no custom tunes. secondly, i HATE floorboards and it's big HD like rear light/plate assembly. Says "commander" on the right side pulley cover which looks stupid. Pipes....hate em. But hopefully short tors will work on it. Power is down a bit and weight up a bit. So too many things i don't like. But somehow even with all that i can't take my eyes off it. It's gorgeous. Oh, one more negative....the neck between the tanks and forks was extended so theres a big bare area there. Bothers many others more than I but I don't care for that much either. They also came out with one called the tbird LT which looks so much like a HD bagger it makes me ill. I won't even post a pic for fear some here may also get ill.
But gotta love the look of this....well, I do anyways. Just imagine the look without the pillion. The pic of mine in my sig will show a Tbird w/o pillion.....much better looking.
