The Triumph is my favorite of the two, just because it has more character. I don't know jack about how reliable they are, though. I also don't know how hard it is to get parts for them.
I'm sure I can ride the piss out of the Honda and never have to worry about it, aside from oil changes and valve checks. Parts are certainly easy to come by.

I don't have any direct evidence, but I've seen a number of people on various boards with them... never heard of any problems. Google would be your friend here... Parts shouldn't be a problem - Triumph is in good standing and it's a bike they still produce... Aftermarket support might not be the greatest, but with a bike like that - add some exhaust and be done with it.
