I agree. While I was at the Toronto bike show a few months ago, I spoke to several people who really liked the bikes but said they would never purchase one with a chain final drive.

I wish Triumph would add their own belt drive to the America model at least. I seem to remember reading that the research they put into the Thunderbird belt drive was top rate.
