Quote: 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".
Yes, came across that view.
The main reasons for my choice in purchasing an America. 1 I wanted a British bike. 2 I wanted a Cruiser.
I have herd some of the distain that our Triumph cruisers are regarded with from others. But to say the British never made cruisers would be not true. I cant find one now but If somebody could find a picture of a BSA G13 (1930s) and post it. Tell me thats not a cruiser.
