It's a 2018 Springfield. Awesome bike but she's a big girl at about 850# wet.

My first ever rides on a motorcycle were on the back of a Triumph Bonneville 650. He was a neighbor and took me for several rides. Loved it.

They are pretty cool. But, I believe to be correct in true Triumph parlance they would be called “pea shooters”.

357fuzzI have a ‘13 Bonnie SE. Great bike. I am a Ducati guy but, the Trumpets have really taken a hold of me the last few years.
I am now Jonesing for a Speed Twin.

Definitely a big boy compared to the Scout, but a looker for sure.

shovelheadNice bike. I work at a dual dealership, Harley Davidson and Triumph.
I am very impressed at the price point and the technology in their bikes. Oh, not to mention that they don't leak oil like the good old days.
One tip, when you visit your dealership have the last six digits of your VIN as Triumph does not go by model year but by VIN breakpoint for design changes.

at-home-daddyVery nice! I’ve had a couple Triumphs — current ride is a Yamaha — and plan to get another before too many more years pass.

ridewvCongrats Mark that's a nice looking motorcycle and should be versatile for all kinds of riding. I appreciate motorcycles with real fenders and flat seats.
No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

Wow you have
19 motorcycles, and all the same brand? Thank you, I no longer feel extravagant with my meager stable.

Makes working on them easier. Most are 1964-1969 650cc, with a few newer ones.
