Comparing motorcycles to another it is most of the time not so good for one of the two. Motorcycles with a bigger engine are normally a lot more expensive then outside Thailand. Harley-Davidson starts around 1 million Baht (US$ 29,411) for the most basic model, the Triumph America costs 555,000 Baht (US$ 16,323) which is not the cheapest model from Triumph.
Therefore my first point was that the Triumph Bonneville America was a lot less expensive, matter of fact it is almost half the price of a Harley-Davidson 883.
Wow, I owe you an apology. My first thought while reading this was " man, I hope the brain damage the author sustained isn't permanent", but then I realized this was Motorcycle Thailand. Why would you have an article in English?
