Well for me it's definitly not T-bird envy.I do want to test ride one as soon as possible.I think th engine performance reviews seem solid,but all that being said there is a lot about the T-bird that i don't care for.I can't stand that ugly radiator,and the tank and badges(this goes for the 08-10 Americas ans Speedys as well) look horrible,and i really don't like how they basically reused the speedmaster wheels for it,the upswept pipes have grown on me a little.I just don't get the same feeling looking at or sitting on the T-bird as i do with my Speedmaster.I know that T-bird is finally the Triumph bike that everyone around here can call the Hog-Slayer,but I can't seem to fall for it,I would have much rather they just put that 1600 engine in a Speedy/America.I just feel that T-bird is to "Americanized" and doesn't have that British flavor that the rest of the bikes have,after all it was designed by a guy whose previous job was designing Japanese Harley clones.
