I don't necessarily "Hate" the 'Bird, I just wish it had a more British flavor to it. Like most of us I'm addicted to Triumphs also, I have a 2003 Speedie and heck I want a second one, most likely a 2006(I love that sunset red and black). I read that they had an American who designed Japanese cruisers design the Tbird. The new Speedie wheel is a straight copy of that old Honda wheel,and the Tbird uses the same wheel design as the 2007-2010 Speedmaster.What I don't like are the tanks on the new bikes and lack of originality.
