I think Triumph is making some of the best motorcycles in the world, in the spirit of the originals. I hardly think of the company as a resurrection. It would be much harder to launch a new company from scratch, without any history to provide context. Many other companies have gone bankrupt, or lost their key personnel and evolved in that sense, so they're different as well. Things change. What's important to me is the quality of the new product and how well it honors its past. I don't think John Bloor of Triumph or Kenny Dreer of Triumph are trying to "cash in" on the famous names, rather I think they're men with tremendous passion in what they believe. I welcome the return of many of these bikes, such as the new Commando. I couldn't see owing a real one as practical, but I could enjoy one of these:
