I think there is huge potential in the world wide market for small displacement Triumphs. Even here, if they are priced right. I would like to see a 200cc or even a 4-500cc thumper. Think about the Honda Rebel 250 or the Yamaha Virago 250, they sell for a reason. You can get one for under 2 grand. And it can help the person figure out if they really want a motorcycle. There are those of us that say, "I want a Triumph and I'm getting one", and then there are some people out there wondering "Maybe I want a motorcycle, but I'm not sure." I just see a small bike as a stepping stone either way. At least a motorcycle has to follow the same rules for registering and laws as a car. These 49cc scooters that run around on the roads now require no helmet, no license, no insurance, might as well be a bicycle! But, I think the biggest benefit to Triumph for sales would be the Asian market where 2 wheel transit is widely used. So far, Triumph has done nothing to hurt their image when it comes to producing bikes. I think only Honda has a bigger variety, and they aren't exactly struggling, are they?
