I was just posting elsewhere earlier about how I'd like to see something more like the old SR500 (or SRX600) on the market -- a real proper high-displacement thumper streetbike that isn't a SuMo or a re-purposed dirtbike. This was on today's "Hell For Leather" site:
It's a custom, of course, but the idea is really brilliant -- something that's
fun to ride, durable, and usable by both newbies and by someone with a few thousand miles under their tires.
"Bigger" is not always "better," even for Americans. The SV650 proved that with its success. It would be nice to see someone take that ball and run further with it -- especially if it's a company like Triumph that wants to put out bikes with personality too.
