Anyone have experience with the newer Triumph motorcycles? Really feeling them right now. Especially the scrambler and t100.

They make nice bikes, but from what Alan said you are a big dude...A bike like this may be a little small for you.
Side note: I really like the Thruxton as well I like the Ducati Sport Classic...

Like the Thruxton too. I am about 6'4. So I'm not sure. Need to sit on one. The scrambler is listed as good for tall riders.

I had a 2011 Triumph America and loved it. Great bike. The Speedmaster is pretty sweet too although its just a "sportier" version of the America.
Personally I like the Triumph TBird 1700.
I really like the Rocket III. I know it's not for everybody and most would say it's an ugly bike but 2300 CC's, 140 BHP and 170 lb/ft of torque would be so much fun.
The windshield was custom made by me including the mounts and I added the pipes. Those are JC Whitney specials and I added some custom made baffles to get just the right sound.
I traded it plus a 2008 Lancer Evo and a 2008 Mustang V6 Convertible to get the 2013 Convertible.

That's a good looking ride. I'm looking for something dirt road friendly. Looking at KLRs, Vstrom, etc.

Ah.. My brother has a Vstrom 650 and wishes he went for the 1000 every time he rides it. It's been a great bike and he loves it it's just a bit small for him.
