My Original 'RAT' was a hybrid '82 CB900/1100F
The Boss Hoss company has been producing their 350 & 501 cu/in for years.
Me thinks that's a tad more displacement than Triumph. Rode the 350 (5700 cc) and thought it was a hoot.
Three hundred & fifty-five horse and 1100 lbs weight. No clutch just a 2 speed tranny.
Motorcycling is a very personal experience and what we ride is a personal choice. So to me the question would be, "WHY NOT"! I prefer a more vintage bike but I think that Triumph looks pretty good. Looks like Triumph's version of the Ducati Diavel. If you can afford to pay $29K for a Rocket or a Ducati 1198 Panigale and you're not taking food off the table or missing a mortgage payment or putting yourself in debt past your eye balls then buy the bloody thing! I also liked the way it handled the Hayabusa, which is another bike I'd buy if money were no issue. I just need more money and garage space!
