satxron, the # 1 thing came directly from a Triumph service bullitan, so if their telling lies, it's to the entire world.
Yes, you did say there not going to make the bigger bikes by saying they don't have one.

Thats why they don't have one, they can't sell it in America in any volume and they know it.
There marrketing know that the need a cruiser between the tinker toy 865cc, and the monster 2300cc to compete with the likes of Harley.
Lets see, in the past three years Triumph has deneyed they were making the Daytona675, the Scrambler, and there's lots of people who are riding the bikes the deneyed they were making. Triumph takes 5 years to develop a completely new model, but two bikes are being done faster as spinoffs of the 675, and one based on the 1050 engine, a new big Daytona. Triumph will deney it of course until there ready to start selling them. I've already seen the bikes pics of the bikes being riden at the factory testing area. I guess that there's not going to be a tourer based on the rocket acording to your info too.
Building more facilities in england would have tapped Triumph out. GM had no choice but move into places like mexico. The product was substandard, and completely over priced due to unionized labor getting paid off the wall wages for being a non skilled worker.
Times change, and because moving production has classically caused the loss of jobs in the original country doesn't mean it will happen with Triumph. I guess we'll know in a few years won't we.
I'll buy the beer if your right
