I was at the local Triumph dealer yesterday and saw the new America in Pacific Blue and White. I liked it enough to seriously consider trading my '04 Blue and White T100 on it ... that is until I looked at the VIN on said America. The Assembly plant code was T ...not the J I was used to seeing. I know J is for Jackhill Road, Hinkley England ... I assume the T code is for the Thailand assembly plant. I immediately ceased all consideration of this bike. If I didn't care where my bike was made I'd have bought a Honda, or Yamaha or whatever the hell else the asian market is producing as a cruiser. So my question is this ... are ALL the parallel twins now assembled in Thailand ??
