My wife is taking the rider saftey course in a few weeks and we have gone bike shopping for her. Up until now I have been playing along with the Yahama'a and the Honda's. No way are these rice burners sitting next to my Bonnie in my garage.

Problem is the Triumph's just do not fit her the closest we have come is the retro Bonnie 1100. She just does not like the style, she loves the Honda 650.

I guess I will have to build another garage.

I agree that there would be a market out there. If someone buys a 250 Honda or Yahama and outgrows it in a month they are back buying a bigger Honda.

Triumph, has built in customer loyalty and I'm sure if the made an entry style bike once they outgrew it they would trade up.

My two cents.
