Seems at first a fine combo of Yankee and Romanian engineering, overseen by MBAs from the best factory farms (organically grown financial instruments, clean cages, cleansed minds) -- but you see:
Triumph has plagiarized an old process, simply in reverse.

I direct your attention to the Moto-Guzzi 500 cc V-8, developed before nano-technology - in which an automotive V-8 was shrunk (in their also Confidential/Secret special room) -- shrunk-to-fit, actually.

I'm told by a Reliable Source that, the method was BTS (build-to-size.)
The seed was - the desired-size frame, with its CG placed at geometric center of the chamber. (The special shrink-organisms were -back then- a bit too innumerate to work to drawings-with-numbers and arrows and stuff.)

(There was an unfortunate event early-on, when a rider stayed in the room to observe progress ... and ... well, let's just say that the blending of ergonomic layout of man/machine -- left no access (or egress) and, as this construct occurred over a long weekend, well - - as I said, unfortunate. (Later, 'observations' employed a system of mirrors and lenses - but I digress.))

So you see, the new Triumph is the Same Thing, with a simple polarity reversal.
