I don't have a problem with belt drive, but there are a number of simple styling changes that would have made it look a lot better and more Triumph. If the argument is most cruisers this size are belt driven, what's the deal with the bobbed fender? The tank could definitely be more Triumph like and have a bigger name plate. Minor changes like the fins could make the engine look better. The radiator looks like they took cues from Honda - at least they tried to hide it between the pipes rather than stick it in front of them.
I definitely would prefer straight pipes. I assume if they make a touring version, they would change the pipes to make room for bags and go for a more normal rear fender. We'll just have to see if they do make any "improvements".
