Originally posted this as a reply in the "what don't you like" thread, but perhaps it's better as a thread of its own. I'm looking for a Bonnie right now. First thought it would be a Thruxton, but like the feel of the Bonneville better. Was going to look for recent used but there are plenty of 07s around so will probably do one of those. My home is about equidistant from three Triumph dealers: Freehold Triumph in Freehold, NJ; Mt. Holly Triumph in Vincentown, NJ; and Manayunk Triumph in Philadelphia, PA.
Everyone emphasizes the importance of the dealers so I'd like to know if anyone on this list has anything good or bad to say about any of these three dealers. All three want pretty much the same $s so price won't be a factor.

What am I riding now? '74 Norton 850 - Black, as it should be.....

All my friends up there say he is OK. Yes - go new as well, then you knowwhAT YOU GOT!! Warranty as well. If you close t oMt Holly - let me know.
