I don't think it will interest me. I'm pretty much done with bigger & heavier. And I think that Triumph should stick to triples in the large displacement classes. I think they were on the right track with that.

It won't draw the Harley crowd. They want the Harley lifestyle. Hard to believe, but that's the deal. The motorcycles are just the passport to the "life" fantasy.

The big Japanese cruisers are V-Twins. A 1700cc vertical twin is unique, but "wrong" somehow. My mind is just rejecting the concept.

Triumph is doing something here that BMW is famous for. Coming up with the answer to a question that nobody is asking.
