I agree. I bought a Triumph because I like UK built motorcycles. I drive 60 miles to a small Triumph dealer. I paid more for a Triumph. I live almost across the street from one of the largest Japaneese bike dealers in Alabama. They are loaded down with Hondas, Yamahas, Suzukis, and Kawasakis, most of which are cheaper. But why would I want one? And, why would I want an Asian built Triumph? I sure hope they are designed and assembled in the UK. Heritage says a lot.
