Cool line up. Thanks for the excellent preview.. Got back the bad news on my bike 10 days to get parts another 2 to fix it... Look like I am going to have find something to ride till then Maybe some test rides.... I love the fact Triumph doesn't put funky juevinille racer boy graphics on their bikes. Classy lines...

Whilst the Triumph lineup is cool, I have to make an observation or two -
The Tiger: Isn't YAMAHA making the FZ1 already?
(BTW - I *LIKE* the FZ1, and the Tiger as well!)
The Sprint ST: Do the Writers/Producers of "Battlestar Galactica" know that Triumph is about to ramp-up production of Cylon Centurions?
(Cylons make great Christmas Gifts!)
Still, triples have character - and this game of ridin' these machines we call "motorcycles" is all about who's the Strangest Character...........

I have no idea...
This photo was taken after two scotches, so I'm not sure what I was doing. The bike was not falling over. I think I might have been looking at the VIN; the two Tigers had prototype VINS, #1 and 2.
Should I be offended by the "bagel" comment? Do I need to call Senator Allen's office?

I am now in the ST1300/Concours 14/R1200GS sort of mood. if the Tiger makes a good blend of touring and sport, I mean does both superbly, it just might get my money.
It will depend on wether it has the legroom I want, the upright comfort I want, and the wind protection I want. Without that, claims of "all rounder" are just horse*****.
I've spent 13 hour days in the seat of a ZX-12R with a tall screen and a corbin. I loved doing that. Now I want a bike that can do that sort of thing well, but I don't want one that is a lardy overweight pig.
the Tiger is on my radar screen.....

I must have missed the "Daytona 1050" on my dealers floor last year. I do have a 955i though.
I can't wait for the Tiger to show up. I doubt the DL1000, GS, Ulyses, Multistrada..etc will be able to match the on road performance of the S3 motor fitted in the Tiger.(even with a little 'tune for torque')
I'll take mine in black with heated grips and luggage.

Perhaps I should have said "English Muffin?"
A bagel just seemed to be an appropriate "free snack-food" item at a moto-unveilling, that's all.

Have you lost your contact lenses? Street bike line up is just as ho hum wheeny wheeny as it ever was. But cruisers, I would go as far as to say they are the kickers of the butt of the moment.

As the Finnish expression goes: Good going but lets take the hand out of the ***** pot. Both of you guys, have a look at the dyno charts first.
