I did not try enough bikes before being won over by the hype and good looks of a brand new 2009 Triumph Bonneville SE. The Pacific Blue and White tank

Six months in and the wheels are corroding. Triumph have walked away from warranty. INSIST IN READING THE OWNERS MANUAL BEFORE YOU BUY THIS BIKE - INSIDE FRONT COVER!
Quotes like:
"IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE MOTORCYCLE IS CLEANED AND DRIED EACH TIME IT IS USED"
"THE APPEARANCE OF THE MOTORCYCLE WILL RAPIDLY DETERIORATE IF CLEANING IS NEGLECTED"
THIS IS WHAT TRIUMPH WILL QUOTE WHEN YOU TRY TO CLIAM FOR CORRODED WHEELS.

I bought a Triumph Bonneville (Hinckley) after several years of Jap ownership, unfortunately I bought a dud, the gear box failed after 200 miles, the fuel tap would not turn off, the twist grip would not close , all these issues were settled as were the rear shocks in line with a company recall, this bike has been ridden daily for last 15 months and with a total of 9200 miles the exhaust valves burnt out, Triumph deny that it was the fault of the secondary air injection, but if you own the model I suggest you remove, when taking exhaust valve out it was bent, it had not hit the piston so it possibly went in that way at manufacture, would I purchase a Hinckley product again, no never ever, and you should think twice.

Yup, that's Triumph Bonnevilles alright.
<br/>Not much has changed from the mid 70's.
<br/>Just don't expect a "Finished" product...

With 8,000 miles on a 2011, I have oil seeping from the valve cover and no other problems. I love riding to work, and I wish I lived further away.

I believe it is triumph factory duty and obligation to rectify all problems in existence. I soon wish to be a thruxton owner and do not wish to go through this.
