One last point, I do not think anyone wants Triumph to have the same image as Harley, a manufacturer (with the exception of the V-Rod) that has been building the exact same motorcycle for 40 years, the colors change, the names change, but they still look the same.
Well, only if you stand very far away and squint your eyes. It would please me to no end if my Night Train bore a little more resemblance to a generator Shovelhead. There is nothing wrong with keeping to a styling that works. Afterall, they are still making buildings using the classic proportions worked out by the ancient Greeks. Take a look at some of the newer cars like the scion, fit and that disgusting thing Pontiac was making a couple of years ago. When you finish throwing up, it becomes clear that departure from classic design, with no regard for what works, just to make something different will make your marketing department work overtime to try to avoid a disaster.
