Serious question, are Triumph's the primary ride over there?
Beside Harley, I love Triumph's and just wondering.

Cornwall here. Bodie the uk is more sports bike, but Triumph and Harley are growing year on year in sales.I think people are looking for a bike with heritage, something they can connect with. The only other brand for me is Moto Guzzi which has similar characteristics, i,ve owned two and wish i kept the last one which was 24 years old.
All the best.
