Very true, Thanassis, however remember my little joke up there about BMW calling this bike a "Speed Twin"? Well, I think that's pretty much what Ron was alluding to here. I mean, at present Triumph's only Twins are air-cooled and all of their liquid-cooled machines are Triples.
And so the question would be: Why didn't Triumph beat the German boys to the punch with a Speed Triple-esque parallel Twin? I mean, what is more "English" than a parallel Twin?
(...yeah, I know and you know the answer...Triumph is a much smaller concern than is BMW, and so there wasn't enough money for them to do this...though I think we all know that one IS probably in the works right now, because as has been stated many many times around here and elsewhere, the days of the air-cooled motorcycle engine are fast approaching their end)
