You know what Triumph? Build this thing on the road. Take what Kalex is doing and put this on the road. All you go to do. You’ll sell shed loads of them.
Make it sound like this too. If people will pay £30k for some WSB/MotoGP lookalike on the road, they’ll pay £20k for a virtually pukka Moto2 road bike that looks like this.
Yeah, they will.
