I can see the forward slanting part. The T160s and the Nortons had that.
Yes, but what he was saying is the cylinders are pointing out the left and right sides in a V configuration like a moto guzi, PLUS slanted forwards too ! A norton is just a parallel twin with a forward slant. In fact, thats exactly what i said to the guy when he said "slanted forwards"......i said "like a norton?". Thats when he explained the cylinders would be like a guzzi. I know he's just gotta be wrong because even if it's possible i cannot imagine in my wildest dreams triumph being stupid enough to do that and think it will be a good seller. I think it would flop in a huge way. In fact, i'm probably the one here who is most anxious for this bike, yet i'd pass that up no question.
