You know, the specs aren't much different from the Heritage Softail. The 96 inch HD engine actually turns faster, first time that a Triumph didn't outrev a big twin Harley.
The remaining range gauge is a nice feature if it's accurate or at least reads on the low side.
The readout scroll switch on the handlebar is another nice feature. On the Night train, I have to push a button on the side of the speedometer (down on the tank) to switch readouts.
At any rate, it looks like Triumph are going head to head with HD and their Japanese copiers on their own turf. This could get interesting.
Back in the 50's, The 650's ranged from 38 to 48 HP as compared to the FL's 55 and FLH's 60 HP, but the Triumph reved some 25% faster and weighed around 175 - 200 LB less so Triumph was at least the equal of Harley anywhere and had a distinct advantage under some conditions.
