The difference is that the one I would purchase was Assembled/Made in England. I know on some level it may not make sense to some folks ... but if I'm buying a British motorcycle I want it to be assembled in England. In addition, Triumph needs to stap wrapping these bikes in the Union Jack and making use of old pictures of Dylan, Steve McQueen, and Brando riding classic Triumphs to sell their now Thai assembled Triumphs. Bottom line ... I buy Triumph because it's British, assembled in Thailand as we say in the SOUTH "ain't British".
Hypothetical question, if I paid an extra 1k ... could I special order a Hinkley assembled Triumph America ??? If the answer is yes ... I've got the money. That's how strongly I feel about it.
