The answer to your question Mad Dog Bianchi is that the narrow minded old croanes that ran the british motorcycle industry would not listen to the people that knew what was needed, just take a look at the bBandit & Fury designs that were shelved coz they were a little radicle at the time or the monoshocked BSA MCI horizontal single.

Alas narrow mindedness was the killer of the Brit bike industry.

Next thing you`ll suggest is that they build a four pot version of the Triumph/BSA tripple and maybe even think about an overhead cam.................whatever next!
