Brit bikes (Triumph, BSA, Norton) tend to be reversed on the shifter and rear brake. It can be very confusing to be used to the normal arrangement then suddenly find yourself having to learn to ride all over again simply because your right foot does not know how to find neutral.
I'd really love to build a Triumph someday, but I probably won't because of the wierd controls. I'll wind up building a Triumph-poser from a Yamaha XS650 or XS400. Those old Trumps were just so cool though...
