Yep Thanassis. Seeing as how Triumph has already planned this machine as a "cruiser" and supposedly directed it as competition against H-Ds, then unless they make that puppy look as air-cooled as they can, and hide the radiator as much as possible, which was something that that "spy photo bike" failed at, this tact of a redesign might be their best bet at a successful launch.
However, I have to emphasize that this bike will supposedly be a cruiser, and this idea of a "radical design" seems somewhat counter-intuitive, as "cruisers" by definition should be more conservative in design, as the potential customers for this niche of motorcycle tend to be more conservative in their motorcyclng tastes.
For example, just look at H-D's V-Rod and it's lack of acceptance for the most part by the "traditional" H-D crowd.
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
