I'll be interested to hear what others think about things like the stacked gearbox ("a first for Triumph") and internally located oil and water pumps. Definitely a compact layout, but what might we expect in the way of teething pains with such a radical departure?

It's new for a Triumph but isn't 'radical' per se. Apparently the current R1 already has it. It was interesting to read that the engine was 'styled' as well as engineered. I guess we just have to wait and see whether there's any problems, but that's what testing is *supposed* to avoid. The first engine went on the dyno early to mid 2003, so they should have everything ironed out.
I agree with you about the torque graphs - can't wait!
