Stunning isn't she! Not talking about the bike.

erepsekahs, I guess you like them over 300 lbs and with some real short hair and massive table muscles. I don't like'm that big, but hey to each his own. Now go find one and have at it...

[@tms372]

Only 5 for practicality because it's a "big bike", REALLY, it's only a 900. He must be a scooter guy,
What would he think of Triumph's 1700cc Storm or 2300cc Rocket ?
I would give it a 9 or 10 for practicality and I've probably been riding longer (since 1970) and logged more miles than this fellow. In Canada the bikes are very well priced so I would also give it a 9 to 10 for value. I've been riding Triumphs for decades with no road-side breakdowns so I would also give 10 for reliability. But what do I know, this guys the expert.

i think this bike is super practical, easy to ride, powerful and room to customize....these scores were way off....

[@randylarocque1694]

I totally agree matt toronto .. and the reliability score how does that even come into play here he rode the bike for maybe 20 minutes lololol

[@aronyak1]

I wonder if he thinks it's big?

[@whitedust696]

This bike looks better than the modern Harleys

[@stephenbushway9885]

How many times did he say the TB was a "big bike"? Like it scared him or something....

[@jimtrotter2084]

I have a 2000 Thunderbird. I agree with the Handel bars too upright. I pulled mine down a bit and lowered the dampner on the monoshock. rides better.

[@erfft3903]

lol,this is a joke surely.
he didnt even know he was out of the old peoples home did he?.
he appears to be looking for a bus pass not a motorcycle..

[@tompowell1023]

BS. How can he score reliability after a brief test ride?

[@tms372]

Triumphs are well known for reliability.

[@randylarocque1694]

This bloke doesn't know what a big bike is hahaha I would like too see him get on my Yamaha Royal Star Venture !!! of course I wouldn't let him ride it LOLOL

[@paulcollins9308]

Or my rocket 3 now that’s a big bike !

[@stacybrown7993]

Its was obvious from the get go he didnt like it

[@steepriderz9003]

[@arniet1]

"So Chris!....What did you think of the personality difference between you and I eh, eh??" "Yes...a bit top heavy but yes...not baad, not too baad"
