    My name is Andy, I'm from Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset. I'm 53 and getting back into riding. I owned a Bonnie USA about 10 years ago sold it and stopped riding. This year I decided to try biking again, bought a Kawasaki Zephyr 550 and decided I love biking and want to get a bike I really want.

    Hello Andy and welcome to the forum :)

    Best thing to do is have test rides then you’ll know what to get.

    Welcome aboard Andy, as above, take em both for a test ride but with the Triumph you're buying into a family, not just a bike.....and get what colour takes your fancy, lol.

    Welcome to the Asylum you should fit right in. To keep the inmates happy we will need photos of you're new bike when you get it .
    BLACK is the best colour which ever bike you chose
