A V-Twin and a Parallel Twin-very different to say the least. I'm ammused at the comments in the press that the Triumph will have a 270 degree firing order to mimic a V-Twin. NOT. It'll take way more than that-and that's a good thing in my book.
It'll be very interestin to see outside of the Triumph faithfull who this bike will attract. For the existing line of bikes we almost never have a potential customer who is playing a UJM off a Triumph. About the only real time it comes up is H-D ridewrs looking at a R3 or R3T. I know several America/Speedie riders who are looking hard at the T-Bird as the R3 is too "much" for many.
