I love the look and size of my bike but I really would like a more powerful engine. Maybe offer a 1000cc+,but keep it the same size bike the way Harley do the 883/1200 sportster.
Yes, this was my idea, same size bike just bigger jugs, at least on the America/Speedmaster. They're long wheelbase cruisers heavier than standard Bonnevilles. the idea is to go for a lot more torque to pull the weight and a lower more relaxed RPM when cruising over 70 MPH.
Sure, you could just buy a Thunderbird but I don't like their excess weight, liquid cooling and style (they look like Hondas with a parallel twin transplant) and Triumph could have at least tucked their radiator between the frame tubes like Honda does.
