All good points via Beardy and Empty and others. Triumph is a focused brand and manufacturer. Honda probably cares more about lawnmowers, generators and 125cc bikes in India than they do about the CB. You never see anyone with a Honda Lawnmower t- shirt.
And it is cool to have a bike that confounds people a bit. If Triumph becomes too popular, and too many Bonnies crowd bike night, those who care about cool might move on. As the great Yogi Berra said about a once 'cool' bar in NYC, 'Nobody goes there any more...it's too crowded.'
