Lmao! I'll try to avoid emulating Triumph riders then

AMA Superbike (the first superbike series, wasn't it?) only started in 1976. So what was before it might have been AMA F1 perhaps. In 1975 they had `AMA Superbike Production', but that wasn't quite the same thing and I think that was the first and only year.

Merely the wet weight of the 1000 production units offered up to the general public to satisfy the homologation rule for WSBK. Then they will trim it to close to the 162kg limit and crank up the Hp to 210ish to be competitive in the frey.
Well.....thats the plan anyway. Out of an article I read about it.

190kg appears a bit porky compared to the competition.

Will the riders long grey beard cause a bit of wind-drag?

Maybe next time I see a policeman on a BMW twin I should write to the PCA and complain about the rampant Nazism in the local police force?

That's not the funniest, most ironic bit !

Clearly Mr Farley does not remmeber who the founder of the Triumph Motorcycle Company was

It was Herr Siegfried Bettman a german industrialist from Nuremberg !

The first Triumph engineer was Mauritz Schulte. From, guess where ?

Anyone else think the rear end looks to be pointed too high?
Unless it really drops with a rider on board it won't help the aerodynamics any.
The stuntaz would love it though.
