Just looked at it again. Too bad they didn't put a more retro/bigger/classier emblem on the tank. That would have helped the looks some. Just a small comment.
Agreed, an eyebrow badge on there would have been nice.
Not to worry, if Triumph thinks they can make a buck they'll produce one. Don't stop your visits here, you're an alumni and we'll look forward to updates on your T-bird.

Gotta say that paint job IS pretty darn cool, alright! 
(...though for some reason it's kinda remindin' me of some of the paint jobs on '50s/'60s Harleys)

I traded my America for a Rocket Touring. Looked at the T-bird and found it to be too similar to the America. The Rocket is an awesome machine and worth considering. The bike handles great with tons of torque. I like the torque since I ride mostly on back roads and can stay in 4th gear all day!

Nice bike! i looked at them, but honestly for me anyways, the look of my SM with the clam tank and everything not to mention its great around town and great enough for me for the few long hauls i make, i just can't reason the extra cash, i own this sucker so if i want to spend 2k on her etc then its still cheaper then a new one and i know what i have, a couple three years from now it will be a different bike anyways so always something new to look forward to. If ya get it, i am sure it will be great though, enjoy.

Nice bike, sharp paint job. Good choice for an upgrade.

Beautiful bike. The color is pretty cool. I would love to see someone on here stuff a T-Bird engine in an America/Speedmaster!

There is a T-B Sport for sale here in Seattle ( Craigslist) with a Speed Trip cam and ignitor, sounds fast.
