Triumphs are very competitively priced compared to other bikes of similar quality/features. But there's the point -- they don't make a low-end budget bike like the Wee-Strom.
For what it's worth, maintenance is no worse than the Japanese bikes. Parts seem to be around the same price too. Of course, in over 27,000 miles on my Bonneville, the only thing I've ever had to replace besides standard wear items was a faulty coil (supplied by Japan, ironically). An aftermarket high-performance coil cost all of $75.
