The ONLY thing that survived  from the "old" Triumophs to the "new" Triumphs 
is the name. Thee is no  evolutionary design from old to new models. The new 
models were largely designed  by ex-Kawasaki designers recruited during John 
Bloor's startup operation of the  new Hinckley Triumph operation. They are 
superior in every respect to the "old"  Triumphs, and putting the Triumph name on 
the side does these quality  motorcycles a dissservice. The old Triumphs were 
"cool", a term that describes  something that doesn't work very well, but you 
want to like it anyways. The new  Triumphs are just good motorcycles.
