When I went on the factory tour at Triumph live they were stripping down completed bikes to every last nut, bolt, bearing etc for export to Brazil to skirt around import taxes - the bikes being reassembled locally from the kit of parts, seems such an inefficent thing to do, but financially necessary to have a chance of selling any bikes at all! _________________

Hi Jimbo, I'm not sure this is a website you can regularly visit I think you may have to register you email on the Triumph site so they can email the new issue every month.
It made me happy that Brazil is being thought of as a serious bike market, the thing is though probably 90% of the bikes sold in Brazil are 125's so I don't know what are Triumph expectation in terms of sales here!

All those 125 owners must be itching to move up to a 675 .
What is the test like in Brazil? Can you move up the cc scale easily? _________________ So many roads, so little time. |
