Double accolade for Triumph at Motorcycle.com's "Best of 2009" awards
Double accolade for Triumph at Motorcycle.com's "Best of 2009" awards
Tuesday, August 25, 2009
Motorcycle.com has just announced their Bikes of the Year for 2009 at the first annual 'MoBo' awards with the overall Bike of the Year title going to the Street Triple R.
Motorcycle.com judged the Street Triple R to be "a fantastically versatile sporting package with one of our favorite engines of all time. It's an elementary motorcycle but with major league performance built in, and its fun-to-ride quotient is sky high, earning our MoBo Motorcycle of the Year for 2009".
A second accolade for Triumph came when the Thunderbird took the Best Cruiser crown, with Motorcycle.com saying "Triumph's Thunderbird tests the cruiser mold by eschewing a V-Twin power plant in favour of a character-rich parallel-Twin that retains a link with Triumphs of yore. Clean lines penned by an American designer are attractive without being too derivative, and a stout chassis encourages riding on twisty roads instead of avoiding them".
