WHY DOES THIS BIKE GET NO PRESS??



Because Triumph, even though it is the best bike on the planet, they treat it (and the America) as the red-headed step children of the Triumph line up.



I'd agree with this. Also, what press I've seen about them shows more about the "it's not a traditional cruiser" attitude of the reviewer than what it says about the bike. In one 'shootout' review, they wrote "this thing devours corners" but then panned it as an "odd duck" because it didn't have a v-twin like the wannabe davidsons they ran it against (What?! A p-twin in a cruiser?!? A cruiser that likes twisties?!? That's just absurd!). As many innovations as there are in the motorcycle world every year, many people still have that "because that's the way it's always been done" attitude.
