Interesting news... What do you guys make of this? Could it mean good things for Triumph street machines of the future? It should be good for the brand's image at the very least but I would suspect the R&D will provide dividends too.

Who's going to be impressed by a motogp2 engine? Bobber riders? Thruxton riders? T'bird riders? If this is signalling intent to stay in the sportsbike market then fine, otherwise it's a waste of time and resources.
