I think bike is an excellent departure from the norm. I used to ride a yamaha xs 650 and realloy enjoyed the bike except for the rear drum break and lack of power. I had read about how the 270 crank and a big bore kit made all the difference but I still thought a larger displacement parallel twin would be really awesome well someone at Triumph must have thought the same thing because behold a 1600 cc parallel twin its about time now just got to get me hand on the throttle and see what that bad boy got. I like the styling it leaves room for customization. In my opinion I would have went with full fenders or wrapped fenders but I like a full fender on everything.

This is a shrewd marketing move by Triumph and will be a big hit in the US. Many folks here really desire a well thought out alternative to the Harley. Going with a big parallel twin with a 270 crank (it’s gonna sound WAY better than a Harley), belt drive, liquid cooling and all, THANK YOU TRIUMPH. Can’t wait to strip one of these down for the ultimate bobber in history. This bike will eat Harley’s alive.
