It's a harley clone with a t-bird engine.It does look good[better than a harley] I agree but they could have stamped a little more Triumph on it and a little less harley.The front end for instance.Gaiters instead fork shrouds maybe do something instead of the harley headlight cowl.The guards and mufflers are straight from harley.Just my opinion.
Well, my friends, since 2004 when I first found this site, folks have been wanting big engines and touring capability in a Triumph made motorcycle. There was whining, gnashing of teeth, and many, many beautifully and purposely self creations of that very theme. Guess what - when you put together all the components of what people say they want - this is what you get. If you say you want a motorcycle that has the seating arrangement and storage arrangement that would ideally would work on a low slung motorcycle, copious amounts of chrome, dabs of ornamentation, and maybe some white walls - this is what you get. You see, it's not just Harley cloning, its also genetic engineering - the sum of all that people said they wanted. And that's, in part, why they all look like they do - even the Harleys themselves. To further wear out an adage -It is what it is.
I would also add to that, that I am of the opinion Triumph has done an excellent job of giving those who have asked just what they've asked for.
