Quote: And, ALSO making the engine look more modern and water-cooled...
I would describe the look more as "car-like and clumsy." Unless the motor is really massive or you're making a Goldwing clone with everything shrouded, there's no reason to add the weight and complexity of water cooling. It ruins the styling, even if the designer's goal is a contemporary look. It's difficult to imagine how this bike will ever attract new buyers to Triumph. Wrong bike, wrong time, wrong style. Remember I said this and watch the sales figures over the next few years.
