That's a sweet looking bike. I like the feel of those triples,good torgue and acceleration. Looks like this is going to be the hot market in 2012!

 
Damn I just bought a Tiger 800. Never mind I'm starting to fall in love with it and if the power disappoints then I have a new alternative.

 
Initial pics in blue sure do look good. If the weight ends up closer to a GS than the STen, Triumph might be on to something.

Very interesting. Can't wait to see how it stacks up against the BMW and Yammie 1200 GSes.
And the new bike Honda is bringing out to compete in the same market as the BMW 1200GSA. Maybe some solid competition will force BMW to get their final drive issues straightened out once and for all.....probably not.

 
Yup, these giant tralies are the darlings of the industry these days. I figure this is aimed squarely at the S10 and GS, maybe even the Multistrada, though nobody needs that much engine for dirt roads.

Shaft drive? Yes!!

Switchable ABS? Yes!!!

Fly by wire throttle and traction control? Boo!!!
