"a 19/17in wheeled scrambler that we’ll call the Tiger Cub (and if Triumph don’t, they’re missing a trick)".

Doesn't do to assume though, look at enfield calling their new lightweight single a meteor and their new big twin a Continental GT.

Bajaj are a cheap bulk built bike designed for the multi million sales in Asia - if Triumph think they are going to fool the customers by buying these and re-badging them they are sadly mistaken...

Just another cynical raid on British motorcycling history?

A.
Yes.

It's horrible, and MCN will praise it in case they lose advertising revenue.

When I look at this, I now realise the biggest mistake I made was selling my last 350 Bullet. I've got a stalled Enfield project that for various reasons I very much doubt will be completed. But that's life. :cry:

The last time I was at the Bath and West showground show the lads that I went with escorted me away from the AJS stand in case I got us thrown out

It really irks me that they can sell Chinese rubbish with a name that is part of motorcycling history

I feel that this is going to be more of the same thing but to make it worse it has Triumph's blessing

The way of things today I suppose Dai

Just my own opinion you see, but given the monstrous change to electric transport looming in under 8 years time, expect to see more of this "rubbish" on sale. As a business proposition is any forward thinking company going spend serious money on R&D that will effectively become unsellable in 2030?
