After six months on my Trophy 1200, I am very pleased with the quality of the bike. The price was a major factor in my purchase. The comparable Hondas or BMWs were significantly more expensive. The real highlight of this bike is the powerful engine with a very broad spread of power. Perfect for touring long distances. Fit and finish are excellent, especially the paint quality. Triumph offers some excellent accessories. The 45L top box, heated grips, and anti-theft device are all useful additions. Ergonomics are good although the reach to the bars may be a little long for smaller riders. The brakes and handling are excellent. Finally, the warantty, 2yrs, unlimited miles, which can be extended, is a great bonus. So far the service from Triumph and my dealer have been great. I would recommend this bike to anyone looking for a versatile, high speed, long distance mount. I also use it to commute everyday to work, a task the bike is also well suited for. The only drawbacks to this machine are limited aftermarket accessories and the seat is not the most comfortable for long distance (this defect can be fixed by Corbin).
