This may be a bit unfair to our Hondas since Honda did not try to copy one prior model, but used a blended look, capturing the styling cues from a generation of bikes. Yes, we can nit-pick minor issues of the Triumph, but I feel that some are brought on by building a retro model that has to compete with modern bikes.
Yup. And let's not forget how mechanically challenged the older Triumphs were/are. They leaked more oil than they burned.
