Default BIGGEST BORE 2.3 liter!

http://www.triumph.co.uk/usa/263.aspx Saw one this weekend in Long Island, looks awesome in person, but more impressive is the sound of that 3 cylinder. I saw it parked with the rider but didn't stop because bike was running and didn't want to bother him. A few miles down the road I kept hearing an exhaust roar behind me but didn't connect it with the bike because it sounded like a much bigger motor. Then he cruised by for a left turn at an upcoming intersection so I told the fam to be quiet and rolled down the window to get a good listen. What a beast! In-line 3 cylinder at 2.3 liters with 140 hp, and it's mildly tuned so there's a whole bunch of ponies still hiding inside. Our minivan has the 2.4 liter four banger with 150 hp, wife in the passenger seat, kids in the back, I find the contrast comical.
