Looks like a fun lightweight.. in the Vitpilen segment but with a fairing.

Nice looking bikes. I would like a twin but I suppose that isn't going tp happen due to the modular design in all modern day bikes resulting in the same engine for the scrmabler, roadster and Thruxton.

Could you imagine a 375cc Triumph Triple, that'd be hilarious Smile Unfortunately we're well past the point of any imagination with ICE design Sad

Benelli and Honda maaged 350 fours back in the day IIRC.. The Honda at least was underwhelming I'm lead to believe..

A few 2T triples too KH400 and GT380 - sounded ggreat!

Triumph always used to make a variety of smaller capacity twins so it's in keeping with the original brand. Some of their 250s were quite nice wee bikes, people use them in classic trials bikes because they are pretty lighweight for a twin and make plenty torque off the throttle.
