Well folks, pulled the trigger yesterday and bought a new 2018 T120 with 1 mile on it. Dealer had it on the floor. Because of the snow, they will deliver to my home in a couple of days.
Hi ya Tommy. Appears we have a bit in common. I'm 68 and have always lived by the old saw that, although I may have to grow old, I don't have to grow up. I had a couple Hondas early on, then HDs, then several Victorys (Victories?). The Vics were my favorite. hell for stout bikes. I sold my last Vic when I was offered more $$ for it than it was worth and regretted it almost immediately. I thought I could quit riding, but after a year I was climbing the walls. I thought of buying another Vic, but with Polaris having pulled the plug on them, I worried about parts availability in the future. I had sworn off HD, was pissed at Polaris, so the Indians were out, and after years of American bikes I had become infected with the No Rice virus. I always liked the Triumphs and was smitten by the Speedmaster. I bought a new, leftover 2018 model. So far so good. Fun bikes. You won't regret your choice.
