Then please explain Indian's all new AIR-cooled motorcycle then?

What, you don't think Polaris has heard this same thing about air-cooled motorcycles being on the way out?

Nope, sorry T-Man, but in MY view, Triumph has missed a golden opportunity to create the FACTORY-built "perfect retro" motorcycle for almost 10 years now.

Though of course all the "cottage industry" types who have profited all these years making big bores for the Bonnevilles probably haven't minded one little bit. In fact, whenever I'd bring this up to Matt Capri at South Bay Triumph, he would always tell me how he LOVED that the boys in Hinckley never made a bigger displacement Bonneville model because it would have cut too much into his side business of selling his versions.


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
