Actually I'm pretty sure they wore out the tooling.
That is why a '95 t-bird is way better than say an 'o1 t-bird. :lollol:
Seriously the T3 motor had been in production since maybe '91. Some one in an earlier but similar discussion mentioned that as a possible reason. Triumph had to decide whether to invest in new tooling or put the retro hopes on the Bonnie line.
I know we are talking about the TBS which to me is not really a retro bike, maybe a little but it always seemed a fairly modern bike to me. The standard T-bird has more of the retro look. Unfortunately they share so many of the same parts.
I would love to see more of a muscle standard with the 955 motor, i.e., 955/TBS. May be too close to the speed triple to sell well.
