Apart from the 2,300 cc jobbie, wouldn't it be nice if Triumph did something original for a change?
Triumph dont know what original means. John Bloor doesn't ride bikes and the designers only seem to want to follow what everyone else does.
Back in the late 80's Norman Hossack fitted his front suspension to a Triumph Trident making it a light handling and nimble. But the company engineers wanted it to be heavy and clunky and couldnt see the value of cheaper to make front suspension (compared to teles) that actually handles.
So BMW waited for the patents to run out and did their own versions. Norman lost out along with the biking industry in general.
