Just a few days shy of 3 years of ownership, 6 days shy, I traded my beloved NT on a Triumph Trophy. I'll miss the NT, it's a great bike.
The main reason for the trade was to facilitate two-up touring with my wife. I want a bigger more stable bike.
The Trophy is an awesome bike. The 1200 triple makes a distinctive whine, sort of like a turbojet hurtling down the runway towards take off.
More power than I'll ever need, but it's nice to know it there. The throttle is like a needle in the hands of a junkie. It handles as well as the NT. Almost sport bike handling. Very comfortable. The wind protection is amazing.
There must be drawbacks. In the low seat position it's almost as tall as the NT and it's 100 pounds heavier. I'll have to be careful walking it around.
