Default Triumph 400cc single

I think it looks good although there are no clear shots of the left side. If I needed to switch to a smaller, lighter bike I would consider it.

It does look nice. My only issue is that Triumph always seem to use the ugliest radiator on their retro bikes. They look like something salvaged from a 1960's mini.

Have a look at the 360 degree viewer on the Triumph website. As I noted on the Megathread, at 40bhp and a very light weight this will likely sell very well and appeal to people who want a simple bike. I just hope the price is sensible.

Both nice looking machines with a decent spec.

It'd make a great first bike, assuming it's cheap. But I think they pitched the Trident about right, so there's hope. The full media kit has all the info and a whole load of photos:

Totally agree. Fugly rad. Should have used a small discrete rad and an oil cooler
