which I agree looks gorgeous. It looks like Triumph feel they have to have a bike to "beat" the Japanese sports bikes.Now there are two versions of the naked 675 and the tests I've read suggest that the cheaper one is a better all round bike than the sport version. Unless you're into track days of course.
Did you read an article in Bike some time ago when they detuned an R6 with cams and injectors from a Fazer and then had people try a standard R6 and their detuned one back to back, both on the road and track, without telling them what the difference between the bikes was. They just asked which bike do you prefer and why.
Only one person preferred the standard R6 and most thought that the detuned one was faster as it pulled better in the mid range than the standard bike which was more powerful at high revs.
Since then the R6 has got even more extreme with a 17,000 RPM limit (if memory serves) and Yamaha are introducing more detuned bikes to sell to the masses. Isn't the Fazer being dropped next year in favour of more versions of the Diversion all rounder?

Retro is one thing.. the Diversion is something else! 
It's a surprising sized engine given that none of the big manufacturers have mass produced a road bike of this capacity for years. TBH.. I'd venture a little higher say.. 500-650. Unless you go for something like a GSX-R 600 (you'll be hammered by insurance!).. bikes in the mid-range are pretty cheap to run and insure, they do what it says on the tin and are fast enough to get you from A to B in a more timely manner without being OTT. Unless any new 250 was a complete beast.. I think you'd be disappointed amigo
