Tell ‘em I’m available in Thailand to head up their 450 program. I’ll even drive to the plant and pick up the parts. No need to assemble or ship.
Would be that Anderson is already in talks with them to bring him back with Bobby

I thought I had the longest review video at 22 minutes long, but Keefer beat me by two mins! 😅
I'm not a 450 guy but this bike sounds really good. I really like how the chassis sounds, especially. I think the comfort and stability mix, with still acceptable cornering, is what I like best. Sort of why I like the prior Yamaha chassis. But the fact that this bike is light (and slimmer) would be fantastic. The only downside is most reviews say it doesn't like 3rd in corners, which is a bit of a bummer on a 450. Regardless, I give Triumph a lot of credit for really having a great first effort, on these bikes. I hope to at least try one.
Unless something has changed VERY recently, Bajaj and Triumph do not have ownership of each other in any manner. They have a working relationship for certain markets, etc. Here is a snip from the Triumph release announcing their partnership.
Michael Your description reminded me a lot of my 08 YZ450F …. It did everything good but nothing exceptional.
Just a very solid platform that works everywhere.

ok, thanks for the correction. But Bajaj did have 48% ownership in KTM.
So the Bajaj partnership with Triumph is to collaborate, build, and distribute certain Triumph motorcycles. The 'collaborate' part is where they are sharing like designs.
NEC Bike show , Birmingham UK , yesterday.

Was great to chat to you guys Phil, let me know if you end up with one next year 👍

Is this bike also Singaporean?
Is triumph putting a 450 on the track for outdoors does anyone know? If not thats a massive delay seeing savatgy was supposed to be on it last year.
Savatgy was not supposed to be on it last year. Savatgy was signed up to be their 450 rider starting with ‘25 SX but they delayed the racing debut till ‘26 (in order to have a more well developed racing platform) which is why Savatgy left as AMA already said he couldn’t move down to 250s indoors, and he didn’t want to sit on the sideline all winter waiting for 250 outdoors again.
The TF250 says “Made in Thailand” on the VIN sticker. Not sure why the 450 would be any different.
Oh ok, damn thats a long way away esp considering that the 450 is out to consumers now. Usually its the other way around where yea they get a few bikes in the country to meet homologation but the team is racing before the general public is out riding around on the production bikes. So triumph and ducati will both be putting their 450s on the race track in 26, that seems crazy. Either way I cant wait to see their 450 after how good the 250 has been.
