Mr Pitt
I think you need to read my post again, the clue was in "MODERN TRIUMPH" ie since John Bloor started making them.
And who said Kawasaki invented the parallel twin? Oh and it certainly wasn't Triumph.
Kawasaki made triples in the 60's albeit two stroke ones.
The other clue was "Nothing new under the sun" most engine configurations have been tried time and time again for over 100 years by many different (and mostly no longer with us) manufacturers.
