Well I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Personally I'd love to see an America version 1400 with
an optional staged carb package to take it on up
to 1500. Full center console with speedo, tach, fuel, oil pressure, and battery indicators. Pullback risers, chopped
fenders, duel front disc brakes on your choice of alloy or spoked wheels, and oh yeah, an optional belt drive.
How 'bout the Triumph "Rogue?"
I am with you. Everywhere I go, folks are excited about the looks of my BA but a little put off by the CC's. In America, it is all about size, and Triumph needs to realize that the Rocket, while the biggest, is still too much size for some. For those that don't have the means to test ride one, the intimidation factor may prevent a sale. If you have ridden the Rocket, it really doesn't handle like a big bike (Road King, etc.). Triumph needs to go after the Dyna market, not the Sportster 1200 market. A 1400cc bike would fit great as an alternative to the Dyna/Softail market. The BA could still challenge the Sporty and the Rocket can just keep dominating at the top of the class.
Bring it on.
