+1. I definitely think the bike will be successful. I'm still hoping they make some design changes so it will stand out more as a Triumph cruiser. I'm not big on the bobbed rear end, pipes, or the chopped (sprocket?) cover. But, I do believe the need is there for something between the R3 and SM/BA.
Maybe after a year they will do a touring version like the R3 and work in some design changes. I will be watching it's progress.
