There is something wrong with the new Triumph in my eyes, even tho I'm sure its a better bike than the original.
Maybe its the little kick-up in the exhaust just aft of the kickstand or maybe the fatass fuel tank. I note Norman Hyde makes several purist aftermarket items to improve the looks. If I had one, I'd ditch the headpipe for a straighter look.

I know what you mean, there is one aftermarket pipe for the new Bonnie that looks spledid to me--looks almost the same as the Norton pipe on the bike Blue Jays posted in #56. I'll see if I can find a photo of it ...

Well this is close. This is a French company that takes stock Bonnies and converts them--they sure look nice.

This is their racer version with the pipes that I think look great on it:
