If they can keep the price down below BMW levels, they may have a success on their hands.

Well, we shall know the truth soon enough. 
Triumph have done better than most others in this depression in the USA, but sales are still slow. I talk to dealers here in California. Where California goes ... the rest of the country (and often the world) follow.
Things are tough here, dealers dropping like flies. Things are not getting much better despite the spin. And don't blame Obama, this is all a Bush thing pure and simple.
I agree if the price point of the new "tiger cub" is priced right it will do well
here in California. Which means the rest of the nation will catch on to it in 2 to 3 years.
