Modern bikes have become specialised like Sport, Cruiser, Adventure. In the States, their seems to be only two categories: Cruiser and Sport. Triumph is one of the few who actually have bikes outside this narrow view and they seem to have done a pretty good job of it. The R3 Touring makes sense for here, and that may be as close as we get to a Touring bike with the Sprint and Tiger doing a good job of things. I remember the T-Birds and Trophy not selling too well here, and those were great bikes. Look at it this way, the ST is the Trophy and the Tiger is the Sprint RS. Personally, I think Triumph could build a retro Hurricane with the 675 Triple and really sell 'em. I only wish I had enogh money to have one of each.
