USMC-R3
.040 Over
Does anybody know what the deal is with Triumph making more and more models in Thailand? Isn't the whole "Made in England" thing kind of a corner stone for the brand? Just wondering if this makes anybody else pissed off.
I own a R3 Roadster and was thinking of adding a Thruxton to my colllection cause I missed that iconic Triumph look that my old Speedmaster had, and then come to find out all the modern classics and even other models including the new Tiger are made in Thailand.
I figure it's got to do with cheaper labor or something but seriously, is that really where Triumph should be heading? I'm no HD fan by any means, but at least they can still claim that their bikes are soley made in the USA. What gives?
