I think that's a VERY good analogy to bring up here, Phil. Over the years, I've personally run across many a "Triumph traditionalist" who look upon the 270 crank BAs and Speedies(and now the Scrambler) as almost an abomination of the breed. Their second argument is that Triumph shouldn't even make a cruiser at all, because "they never did before", and they'll tell ya that your BA or Speedie "looks too much like a Harley".
Hey! I say, maybe they're right!(well..only a little, of course) BUT, I know whenever I park my BA next to a bunch of T100s and Thruxtons, it's usually MY bike that gets the most attention from the general public. There's just something about the proportions of the thing that draws the eye to it. It sure drew my attention to it back in late '01.
(I'll leave you gents with the following parting thought.....
"And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes.....")
