All good points there, Ade.
I don't think that many people start out on a small bike anymore. In today's motorcycling world...well...heck...just look at one of our newest members here, Julie, who's just picked her very first bike, a Speedmaster. And, I don't think the Buell Blast did all that well selling as a "Beginner Bike" either just a few years ago.
Yep, I think if anything, a small Triumph such as this might only go over well in the Asian market.
And as you also infer, the profit margin on each unit of a smaller displacement machine is usually also smaller than on larger machines.
