Had a go on a new triumph yesterday - A flat barred thruxton. Think they feel to all intents and purposes like an old 70s japanese bike. Heavy, questionable handling and crap brakes. It does make a nice noise but other than that the engine is very smooth and a bit characterless. Needs about 10hp more and 100lbs less and it would be a fun bike.

Haven't taken one out for a ride but did have a look & play with a 2nd hand one in the shop recently. Did think it felt a bit on the big side
