The Triumph motorcycle mob have been raised from the dead . .

I have been for a test ride on one of the 900 triples.  The motor is very
British (as are the colour choices), but the frame etc seems very Japanese.
 The bike pulled/handled fine (though I don't think it had the same low end
torque as my 750cc triple BMW - may have just been the chain snatch
though).
