If they ever build the Sakura, I’m in line with cash.

FWIW, I went 100 miles on half an indicated tank, maybe 2-3 gallons. At high altitudes!

Ha! No, she’s a model Kymco hired for photography–you can see her on the Kymco website and brochures. That’s not me riding with her, either. I think I did much better with my own wife. (just in case she reads this).

Triumph are moving into India and other markets that favour small capacity bikes sold in high volumes. I went to Hanoi recently and saw what this can mean – Honda must have sold a million scooters in Vietnam in recent years. Triumph are doing so well they can now grow into markets previously dominated by the Japanese manufacturers, so it’s about time the Japanese starting trying to get a piece of the pie Triumph has been selling. So, no, not toast, just competition, which is great for us. I wonder when a US manufacturer will try to compete… they seem even more conservative than the Japanese. Can you imagine Buell making a triple ? Forget Harley, Indian etc. They’ve nailed their fate to the big v-twin.

You’re killing me, especially the 21″ front wheel! Sign me up. Ewan and Charlie will have to re-do Long Way Round.

850cc triple x2 (parallel) = Inline 6 cylinder 1.7L Whoohoo! Undercut the Beemer by about $3-4K and there’s your “BOTY” Bike of the Year right there my friend!

Get a Throttle Rocker for that, or stick to a car or truck.

I’d like to see it in a shaft-drive supersport adventure touring cruiser scooter with a 21″ front wheel. Keep it light, though.
