The Thruxton is a definate move in the right direction, maybe bump it up to 1000cc, The Rocket 111 should do well with it's hp and torque figures.As for the rest of the classic/cruiser line-up Triumph seems to be OK
For sportbikes, emphesize the Val-Moto 600 victories and market the 600 as an effective alternative to cookie-cutter Japanese bikes. Bring back the Sprint RS as a nekkid sportbike along with the S3 and S4
For touring, use the 1300 engine in a new Trophy, though I don't mind chains myself many people do, so it should have a shaft drive. Just don't go BMW's route and over engineer the fun out of the bike. For the Sprint ST, open up the fairing a little bit to show off the engine and give the leading edge a more angular profile, the round plastic egg look is becoming passe`.
Try'n increase market profile and dealerships and make sure they know what they're about, don't insist on Triumph only dealerships. The buying demographic is different for Japanese and European makes so take advantage of that, and and bundle Triumph with KTM and Italian bikes. Support each genre` with appropriate accessories and trinkets and fix your web site, compared to other manufacturers the web site is difficult to navigate and ineffectual in getting across the new Triumph culture. :-g :-D
