Thoughts on new Triumph Bobber

Guns, I'd like your opinion. The bike in your pic looks like a HD Dyna Streetbob. I was thinking HD, but this may win out this spring for me. May take a afternoon ride to State College via 322.

I'm no expert, but that looks like a sweet bike!
I've never owned a motorcycle, but have been thinking about getting one someday. I may get some small commuter type bike to get some confidence, but ultimately I would like to get a bobber, or maybe a scrambler type bike. I just saw a Ducati Scrambler on display in some airport and thought it was very nice. Maybe somebody makes a bobber/scrambler bike? Right now I have too many hobbies that need my disposable income so I may just have to continue to drool.

Tucks and holds well in the corners, gear ratios are the same. The one I rode was single overhead cam, 8 valve, liquid cooled parallel twin, lifted right from T 120 Bonneville. Chassis and suspension specs just for the one I rode. More power and torque than the T 120 though. 2 piston calipers single disc brakes. I like more brake on my scoots because I'm a bigger guy, but she rides like a dream. Bobber handles super good and you can ride it "bar to bar", or take it out on longer runs also. It's a top flight scoot.
Oh, mine is a Harley FXE 1200 Vagabond shovelhead.
I have a couple of panheads I might be selling soon, will let ya know amigo.

I like it! Very typical bobber look with the 19 inch wheel in the front and probably a 16" in the back. Nice lines. I am actually building a hard tail similar to this only using a 1979 Yamaha XS650. Yamaha basically copied the Triumph bikes.

If you have Dyna Sportster, then this bike will feel lighter and nimbler - almost like a sport bike.
Good luck with it.

Bingo. Yamaha, in fact did copy the Triumphs. If you can, could you post pics of the hard tail? Thx in advance amigo.
It is a nice looking bike. It has a more upright riding position than I prefer. I currently have a 2015 HP Sportster. If I had it to do over again, I would go Indian.
