[[{Anybody ridden one of these yet?]] A friend of mine has one of these, the Triumph Rockett III. It is HUGH bike. Too dam big for me and too much power (140hp). Triumph has the classic line which are retro bikes based on the Triumph Bonneville of the 1960's. That is what I have and I LOVE it. The big difference in the Bonnevilles between now and then is now they have electric start, don't leak oil, and are as reliable as hell. This bike is a BLAST to ride. Triumph has a 100 year history just like Harley and Indian and you don't see alot of Triumphs on the road probably because alot of people are too young to remember Triumph, and most people arent aware that Triumph is even building bikes again. Also because Triumph does not advertize, is why they can keep the price of the Bonneville Classic at $6800.00. A bargain for a piece of history that is also very functional and a hell of alot of fun to ride. I am a Triumph fanatic so anybody that is interested in buying one can e-mail me with any questions and I can steer you to some of our Triumph Bonneville websites where we hang out. Here is the Triumph Bonneville T100 Classic bike which I ride all the time (I also have an orginal 1968 Bonneville in showroom condition that is too nice to ride):
