The new range of Bonneville's have been released and I have to say - they look pretty good.
1200cc, 8 valve, fly by wire, traction control, ABS, slipper clutch etc etc.
The new Thruxton R spec (USD forks, brembo's etc) would look good in my shed.

Yeah baby....... The new T120 looks hot to me. Lots of scope for a mad looking bike.
Triumph have thrown down the gauntlet to Ducati and Harley here. A big lift in technology, looks, power output and noise! Expect to see a few less Harley's sold and more people going British in the next 12 months as these new bikes hit the road.
I have a couple of HD's and it still amazes me how low tech some of them are and how poor some of the OEM kit is. Eg: standard seat on pre-2015 Sportster, all Street Bobs, 48, Iron, etc etc - rubbish.
Standard shocks on pre-2015 Sportsters (and brakes) - rubbish. Sidestands on every Harley i have rode - absolute rubbish.
Lucky they look cool and sound great.
We could run a post here of all the crap that HD owners change as soon as they buy the bike....bars, exhaust, seats.......
