Had to let my C14 go a couple years ago, but in the back of my mind, I've always wanted another, before I got too old to ride. I found a '17 with under a thousand miles on it. Showroom condition, for sure. Having had three C14's, I know what to expect from it, and my only concern is that the batteries in the tire sensors may be getting weak.
Now my quandary... Sitting next to it was a '17 Triumph Trophy SE, with under 500 miles on it, also showroom perfect. Since it was designed to compete with the BMW R1200RT, it comes with electronic suspension, audio system, tail box, cruise control, Heated seats and a bit more natural ergo position. And, they are both priced the same, which on paper, makes the TTSE the preferred purchase.
Anyone here spent any real time on, or own(ed) the Triumph, and have an opinion on which, in their minds, is the better buy? They weigh basically the same, but the TTSE is around 25-30 HP lower than the Kawi. I'm looking to get one or the other this coming week, as I'm gonna be on vacation and will have time to play with whichever bike I get.
Any advice is appreciated, and I thank you ahead of time for your input. tomp
