Is a Triumph Bonneville a good first bike?

Question:
I've always wanted to ride and I'm in love with classic Triumphs. Are they a good bike to learn on?

Answers:

I don't know anything about motorcycles...?

I assume that you are talking about one of the late model Bonnevilles from 2001-on and not the early ones. The late model one are thoroughly modern very nice bikes (I own an 02). The only thing is they may be a tad heavy for a complete beginner (just over 500lbs), but, if you do buy one you will not be disappointed.

Does any one know what is this part on superbike?


Edited message:
Ahhh the classic years that would be 1970 or older (they changed the frame in 71). Your talking about kickstart, right foot shift, lucas electrics, not exactly a beginners bike, but, thats up to you. Very nice ones can be had off ebaymotors Triumph motorcycle catagory. Expect to pay somewhere between $6000-10,000 for a very good one.

They aren't that fast. Handling is OK if there in good shape. Maintenance.= good bike. You will need to research that point deeply. Gearing can make them snappy to ride though.

I bought a Trophy in 2001 after not riding for ten years. She is a big top heavy bike but after a few weeks of riding alone on every curvy I could find I got back in the swing of things. Buy what you want, take it easy till you get the hang of it. But first take a safety course.

Registering 49-state motorcycle in California?

The old Trumpets are great bikes for handling & acceleration. You can really toss them thru turns. My '71 650 Bonnie is the best handling bike I've ever owned & I've owned 10-20 bikes ( all Trumpets, Nortons, BSA's, & Harleys) The bad thing is that the Brits have a VERY strange idea or two when it comes to electronics. Lucas electrics will drive you crazy, but you'll always have something to do on your bike. Also, the brakes on the early bikes are a bit weak, so be advised! That being said, yeah, they are a great riding bike.
