Nice video! Triumph opened recently a factory in Brazil and a friend is interested to get a Trophy, but it is not yet available. Can you tell me about your impression, even at a new topic or by e-mail? Thanks.
Easy:
- the perceived overall quality is not that high
- looking at the forks from above while sitting on the bike you see them surrounded by....nothing, just a big hole in the fairing and you can see the asphalt running underneath.
- The saddlebags and the top case are moving, intentionally, to counteract the vibrations, but they look as if you're about to lose them!
I talked about it to a Triumph employee there and he assured me and explained that this system is better than having them stuck and fixed to the frame.
I answered that it's very expensive to pay an employee for staying standing close to any Trophy exposed just to reassure people passing by and touching the bags that they're not about to drop!
Perhaps he was right, the system is the best, but it's perceived as if saddlebags and top case are loose... thus I, as a potential Customer, would skip it and try another touring bike instead
