I had heard that when the Rocket III was released, they had just about sold out the original planned production numbers. Now, from time of order to delivery, some of those always fall through. And I have two dealers close by and neither one has any in stock (of course, I'm not sure what that means either).
I think the question might be whether they can sell enough to cover development/infrastructure/production costs and make a profit. Of course, this is also ignoring the possiblity of a big tourer based on the R3 platform, which, rumor has it, is in the works.
Then again, the R3 is an image leader product, so breaking even on the thing may be the most Triumph ever hoped for anyway.
