The article indicates that a lot more 2006 models were built at the new plant than most people thought. I'll stick with my original feeling - as long as they keep the quality up - I don't think there's any problem. The reason we bought the bikes we have is still there. I haven't found a competitor's bike I like better yet.
Even with greater production numbers, they will still be a minority. BUT, a slightly bigger presence in the market could be boost for Triumph, a few more dealers, and more after market attention which would benefit all owner's.
