No interest from me, but I'm sure it will find appeal from Tiger Cub owners.

"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.

I have some real Tiger Cubs and I will not be buying any imposters or imitations.

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?

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.

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

It looks pug ugly! The RE designs are far better styled, IMHO.

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?
