Re: [ST] Are we being taken for granted?

The Japanese have gone to a 5 year cycle on "most" of their cars.. at 
least the big sellers like Honda Accord, Toyota Camry.. The point is 
that by leaving the bikes unchanged it lessens Triumphs market share 
since the competition isn't.... another example, I just got my MCN in 
the mail looks like Kawasaki will have a 1200cc sport tourer coming 
this year complete with optional made for the bike Givi bags.. 
Triumph will find themselves out in the cold if they don't start 
keeping up with the market. Hell even BMW is upgrading more often.
