This is not a criticism or anything, but has anybody else but me noticed that this engine is not a true "vertical-twin" in the classic Triumph(and BA/Speedy) sense? It seems to be canted forward a few degrees.

But, aesthetically I think it works pretty well, as the angle of that cant mirrors the forward downtubes and frame rails just behind the cylinders.

(though have I mentioned that it's kind of a shame that there's NO FINNING on those cylinder barrels?)

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)
