Ooh, that would be nice, Robert. I would happily be seen on and own a bike that cool, whereas the 1600 seems to be designed for a generic Midwest suburban middle class male that may or may not exist.
This is what happens when focus groups are depended on for branding and marketing strategies instead of mining a dense history for unique and innovative direction.
Nobody needs, or even really wants, an exact copy of a rickety Speed Twin for the purposes of daily riding. I think it is the essential litheness of the visual weight while retaining the European flavour of a cruising machine that Triumph should be aiming for.
I'll bet since that kind of philosophy worked for Brando, it'll work for the market they're looking to tap into.
