Quote:
Triumph would charge 10k if they made a 1200. They are at 8 for an 865 and 13 for a 1600. Split the difference you get a 1200 and split the price you get 10,500.
Difference is you would be getting a quality bike that is worth 10k - with a Triumph badge on the tank!
...and why is it called FORTY EIGHT? FORTY EIGHT reasons not to buy or is it 19FORTY EIGHT technology or perhaps FORTY EIGHT things to go wrong in the first 12 months.
As for their plan - price point is one thing but they must produce quality. If this suffers in the downturn (and it normally does when the bean counters take over) then their problems will grow - no question.
Don't get me wrong - I like some of the Harley range very much and hope they come out the otherside in good shape but they need to be way more innovative than this.
