Todays Triumph and Norton may have the same badge but the engineering will be light years away from those 1960's machines.
In part this is a shame as there is little in the way of transformation.
I am almost of the opinion they are Japanese machines with a British name, as I think their engineering will be more akin to a Japanese bike then a 1960's original.
I miss the sound of those old bikes but I wish them luck as it would be nice to have something made in Britain.

Buy an Indian made Royal Enfield. The latest machines are designed in a purpose built centre in the UK.

They still sound like true British bikes!
