Nope. I had given up on the "return of Triumph" when they first came out and offered only triples and triple copies of the old style bike. I didn't hear anything different from my ill informed friends, even years later.(They still won't accept my newer twin. They call it the "triyamaha. Stuck in the 60s, I guess) Not until 2008 did I stumble across my slightly dented, but low miles BA in a small dealers shop. It was love at first site. I had only gone into this small shop to ask about some old NOS parts for my 69 Bonnie, and it was on the show room floor with only two other older, jap crotch rockets. I walked around it more than once, and admired the lines. No intention of buying it. But I couldn't get it out of my head, and went back the next day to test ride it. I wasn't overly impressed with the ride, (too smooth, and it didn't handle as well as my old bikes), but man, those beautiful lines, even with a few small dents! Bought it the following day and have enjoyed it a lot ever since.
