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

Thats ridiculous, sorry but Triumph surely have shown that they don't lack
money. How could they have produced the TT600, Bonneville, Bonneville
America, new Daytona etc without money ? It is possible to buy ANY make of
bike from the previous model year. I read that Triumph sales in the US are
up over 30% when at the same time sales generally are up 16%. I don't know
why they choose not to change the ST but it most certain;y isn't anything to
do with a lack of money.
