I get the V Twin American bike thing tho, twins are just cool. Only thing is we have an addiction for overpowering everything in the US. If it is a twin it better, by god, be 1800ccs, If it is a 4 cyl it better rev to 18,000 and make 200 hp...

right, v4 seems to be the easiest choice considering our addiction to the v layout. and as i understand it there are warehouses full of crated FP1's in europe in limbo status. fucking shame really, you'd think someone would sell them. prolly just get crushed

a modern competitive triple would have to be around 1100 ccs though still have high hopes triumph gets their shit together on that

It is past time. The 675 has been carrying the sporty class for them too long. An 1100 cc Daytona would be the berries.

and if I had some capitol I would import those FP1s and start a buy in spec class to run alongside WERA/CCS weekends...
