There seems to be a preference by some users to see the actual word representing their bike's model in the forum name; even though it's in the description.

In the old days, when all Bonnies were in one forum, it was an active place but difficult to use or moderate. Riders would walk up to me, who didn't ride a Bonneville, and state that it was difficult to use.

Many users appreciated the initial separation, but it morphed into basically two different versions of a "general" Bonneville Forum, and one additional for the America/Speedmaster owners (with few users). The numbers reduced further as owners switched to either RocketIII, a Triumph Sport Model, or went Cafe.

Things have been much easier to understand since the change. It's even easier for people to express their dislikes.

However, there is another forum planned for Triumph Cruiser Owners, to go in the Classics and Cruisers category. Primarily because some America and Speedmaster owners want to be out from under the "Bonneville" group, regardless of name or engine similarities.

We can start it whenever the group is ready.
