Don't get a chip on your shoulder because I'm questioning a bike...that also happens to be the model you own.
I think I'm getting my head around the problem here. Part of the problem is that you're nitpicking the heck out of the bikes and expecting answers here. We don't have them. Ask the Triumph engineers, accountants and marketing department why they chose chains over belts or shaft. We chose the bike, knowing the caveats or not, and are generally happy with them. The other part of the problem is that many others on this site feel the need to defend the decisions made by Triumph. They don't. All we can do is talk about our experiences owning the bikes. Talk to an engineer as to whether or not dual disks are better than single in most situations. If you go to a Beemer site they'll love shaft drive. If you go to a rat bike site, they'll hate it. Try to rephrase your questions with regards to our direct experiences, not the overall technical merits of a given technology over another.
Okay, that wasn't nice.
