What is up with that?  Did Triumph just decide they couldn't be
competitive, so they purposesly took themselves out?  But it wasn't a
factory team anyway, so it wasn't that big a cost to them.  Maybe they
thought a 650 would be more capable of better specs, and appeal to the
600 crowd, giving them an inherent advantage if the Japanese stick to
the supersport specs?

Laters,
