Posts: 181 Lecanto,FL Gender:	my new ride 07/22/10 at 17:30:38 2010 Triumph Bonneville T-100 I had my 2007 S40 for 2 years and really loved it. I thought I would try 1 more bike as I am 74 and this makes number 10 so I'll probably quit after this one. I have to say that this is the smoothest bike I've ever ridden. Ride Safe Marine5317

the harley sportster 883 which is what would compete with the Triumph Bonneville with the about 800 CC engine is actually cheaper than a Triumph, the Triumph still blows the harley out of the water though in performance but you are paying about $1700 more

My owners manual shows 270 degrees for the T-100. It runs smooth as a sewing machine. In fact I've already changed my muffs to Stainless Ride which look the same but have a deep throaty sound as the are straight though. i haven't noticed and big gain in performance but now it dosen't sound like a sewing machine.

Ride Safe
