The difference between Triumph and BMW is that this is (I would guess) a snap of the chalk line for BMW. Start on the most level playing field possible and build from there. We all know they can build race car engines, and they have the money and resources to R&D from there.
Where as Triumph just doesn't have the means to play ball with the big kids. They've scored a winner with the 675 (arguable), but will it ever really develop further then that? Seems Mccoy is having a hard time finishing a race without a mechanical in WSS. But that's the danger in starting with something totally different right away I suppose.
