Maybe I'm confused but isnt the 3 cylinder t-bird water cooled.Also wasnt the original t-bird a parallel twin making the new t-bird closer to the original as far as engine configeration, which is the focal point of a bike.The way i look at it,if you want a Triumph that is as close as possible to the classic models,buy a bonneville.They still make them but its a limited group of buyers thats not getting any larger.Harley had no problems copying the bonneville when they made the sportster so why is Triumph held to a different standard to other brands.
