My point was not that the stacked gearbox concept itself is radical these days (I clearly expected most everyone in this forum would know what it was, which is why I felt no need to explain the term), but that it is a tremendous departure from the way Triumph have always done things. Undoubtedly the testing has been extensive, but the test of real world riding is always tougher (viz, Triumph's open surprise at motomag test riders tearing up clutches so easily on early specimens of the Rocket).

There are invariably things to be found and remedied in the first year of any new model. With so many things on this one being new to Triumph, the gist of my question is, what level of confidence does everyone have in Triumph's engineers to get it mostly right on the first try?
