Ok Triumph listen up from your customers! We like your bikes obviously enough to buy them. The air cooled Bonneville, Thruxton, T100, America and Speedmaster models have a simple classic quality that many riders appreciate. We don't need "best in class" high-tech or most horsepower bragging rights. It's a challenge to keep retro-classic machines fresh year after year but here are a few suggestion from the owners:
1. Bump displacement (and power) to about 990cc at least.
2. Get back to basic single color paint with possibly subtle color matched pin stripes, not contrasting. Example; use dark blue or dark green metallic paint on an America to make it's chrome "pop." And go with a brighter (not light) blue for the Bonneville...single color. Oh, and forget the black primer fad.
3. For the Bonneville and T100 use the polished engine cases, the parallel twin is a functioning work of art painting it all black just doesn't do it justice.
4. Upgrade material quality. Thicker seat covering, possibly steel fenders and side covers, painted model logos not stickers under clear coat etc.
5. Build the bikes in England! At least the ones for the U.S. market. I know that aint going to happen but I'm going to say it anyway.
Those are my suggestions, how about some others...
