  Your video is spot on. I’ve had nothing but issues with my 2023 Low Rider ST. The dealership here in southern Oregon is horrible. The quality of these bikes are garbage. And HD itself won’t back their products.

  Been there, done that. I too went from Harley to Triumph. I bought the  Bonneville T120 black. I had been off riding for a few years. I had an Electra glide and went to my local dealer to see what they had. I was shocked by the price, the BS nonsense you mentioned and I walked out. I went into the Triumph dealer and fell in love. No regrets.  I love the Bonneville

  I was sitting on a new Harley Sportster in a dealership and the owner walked up to me and in a condescending tone said, "That's a lady's bike."  Apparently, they hate their own products.

  Perfect choice. I love my T100. It is the sweet spot of the Bonneville family. Enough torque and power for the real life on the road. Cheers from Germany 🇩🇪

  Living in Kansas, when I started riding everyone asked what kind of Harley I was getting. Started on a RE 350, now on a T120.  Friends and neighbors still confused

  Great to see someone else leaving Harley. I am amazed they are still going. I was 23, walked into a brand new dealership with £10k to spend on my first premium 'big bike' and they ignored me. All these middle aged men got spoken to straight away and I waited 15 ish mins until finally giving in and talking to someone myself. I went to triumph the same day and I was immediately recognised as a key demographic and made to feel very welcome 👍 ended up buying a Street Twin which I had for a few years

  I had a Road King for close to seven yrs. The weight of it started to become a handful and went to a used 2016 Triumph America with 2000 miles on it. It is so much easier to back out of the garage. What weight there is, is much  lower and this Triumph is actually fun to ride. My Harley days are over and now I love my Triumph. Won't go back.

  Really enjoyed the video posted 13 days ago. Have had 07 Fatboy, rebuilt it frame off. Rebuilt motor. Loved that bike. Destroyed in accident. Now own 23 Steetglide Special, damn fine motorcycle, but as you,  and I laid down 41,000 canadian and go in for service, indifferent, kind of. So still love my scoot, but your experience, and my early, first ride was on a Triumph .  Watching your show gave me hope that the first bike I rode may be the final bike I ride. At 75, every days a gift! Thank you for the video. Be safe and enjoy the hell out of your new scoot.

  Bought a 865 Triumph America in 2015 after a bad experience at the HD dealer the same day. I've never been so satisfied with a bike. Triumph are really built well and requires just basic maintenance. The balance is so good the bike feels lighter than it is. I suggest keeping the stock pipes because mine mellowed with mileage and developed an amazing tone. The bike impresses me every time I throw a leg over it. If you sell it you will regret it. My Triumph has been Honda like in it's reliability. I have saved serious money over HD from purchase to servicing.

  Never been a Harley fan. Enough said.  I have a 2022 T100.  Very happy.  I did put new silencers on.  Not for sound so much but to improve access to the rear wheel and chain for easier maintenance.  I have a long list of minor mods that I have done - mostly just because I love tinkering.
