What upgrade would you like to see?
My choice would be belt drive on all current chain driven models.

Seamless fuel tanks. Through away the black paint cans, and the clear lacquer. Nice glossy colours. Both cost next to nothing. More chrome, less weight, minimalise plastic.
Why is a Tiger called a Tiger? In the 60s and 70s a Tiger is a one-carb Bonneville. Thunderbird also badly named. Think a Rocket was a BSA? So better naming of models. Speed Twin is the Triumph, in vintage terms, don't know if the modern version lives up to that seminal bike?

More Triumph dealers.
Make keyed ignition an option or make it standard with keyless an option. Please engineer using the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid).

Just went through a big hassle getting a tune/dyno because I handed him the “little” key that I have been using for my R3GT since I bought it and drove off, an hour and a half away. Nope. Bad move. If it’s not the master key fob the bike shuts down after 90 seconds. Trust me, this is not good when you have started downloading a map. Checking tablet, checking OBDLX, looking up FAQ’s online. Mystery shutdown. Grrr. If you recognize a key and it turns the bike “on/starts” then grant full access/parameters to all of the keys for that bike, Triumph.

That setup is just plain stupid in my opinion

It really is. “Either one of these two little keys will fit easily in your front pocket and will let you start the bike and put over 5,000 miles on her in less than two months but you really don’t have full access with those little keys. Don’t believe us? Try to do anything to your bike with it turned on but not started if it takes more than 90 seconds and see what happens. Cheers and screw you, love, Triumph.” Ridiculous. And don’t even give me the anti-theft angle. Anti-theft prevention of a motorcycle would mean not letting any more than three guys congregate anywhere near a bike and a pickup truck at the same time!

I want Triumph to do factory supercharged bikes with TSS Performance.

Make some wear and expendable items cheaper to change. For example the rubber grips on heated grips, and the battery in TPMS. In both cases the entire unit must be changed at 20 to 50 times the cost of what it should be.

I agree vector, belt drive is the way to go. I have had my America converted and it was money well spent. Chain drive is great if you are racing and need to change the gearing at every track but on a cruiser? What were they thinking. I also dispise the big seam/join in my fuel tank which means I must pump the fuel slow so as not to have it spit back. Why are so many of the bikes black, enough allready.
