Ballacraine Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I can agree with where Nogbad is coming from on this.... ...but bar the erm..... holey fairing, I do like the looks of it. Very purposeful. Whether I would buy one though, that is another matter They are bound to have teething problems as it were. Just have to see how they go on. I am in favour of anyone developing new bikes for us. Whether they should be trying to harvest from an historic names reputation is another issue entirely. Quite like the idea of a Voxan though.

Guest slowpoke Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 All motorcyles and manufacturers have something to offer. If we start banging bikes will end up like the Harley crowd. The Italians have a great sense of design and the Japanese have the engineering and low cost. I have a Triumph also and I want to say, that whether they are a link to the past or not, they make one fine motorcycle and if you check out the comparison/rating websites you will find that Triumph ranks at the very top.

I may get a Triumph yet. If they redesign the Daytona it could be enough to send me over the pond. Otherwise I like the 675 and the triple but they are so tiny the speed triple feels like a rail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
