2013 Triumph Trophy SE

Nice looking bike with some nice options. Yamaha needs to step up a little I think.

I had a Sprint ST before the FJR and I can attest to the character and smoothness of the Triumph Triple. Dang, I really shouldn't be thinking about a new bike next year...

That is a wickedly unattractive motorcycle.

Wonder if Yamaha has something new coming ???

I'll be taking a closer look at the Trophy, has a lot of features that I like. Almost a 7gal tank on that rocket plus cruise.

A new 1400 FJR might steer me away though.

I like Triumphs.

I liked the older Trophy.

I don't think I like this one. Reminds me of the BMW K1600 GT. F-A-T front fairing. TOOOO fat for my tastes. Seems to me it would be like pushing an overloaded grocery cart around in front of you. No thanks.

The trend of the newer sport touring machines makes my ST1100 look and feel almost sport-bike narrow up front! :-0

Thanks for posting this.

I think it's a nice looking bike and wouldn't mind owning it. I do wish that it was a little lighter and had a bit more power.

Will be interesting to see the price tag on the new Trophy, looks like she's loaded to compete with BMW.

Not crazy on the look of how the bottom of the rear pannier and muffler aren't parallel to one another as on the FJR.

Also curious to see how it looks w/o the panniers in place.

Too heavy. Looks like a R1200RT mated to an FJR. But I like the adjustable suspension.

I'm still waiting for used Multistradas to go down in price (or my savings account to get bigger).

Nice job for Triumph. Damn, everything the next FJR should have. :angry2:

My FJ shares the garage with a Triumph Tiger 1050. You are correct, the triple has tons of character and smoothness. I ride the FJ when the wife wants to go, and the Tiger when I want to have some long distance fun solo.

Nice Tiger! I always wanted to ride a Tiger as the Sprint was more than a bit cramped for me. Considered on before purchasing the FJR. The thing that gravitated me to the FJR was wind and weather protection, but it looks like you may have that licked with that huge windscreen on the Tiger.

The angle of the pic just makes it look huge. It is better than the oem and I can look over the top of it.

new Triumph

(This is the president of BMW reacting to the new Triumph.) I think it's kind of interesting too, with the ST market being so small and quiet. At least that's the usual take on it here to explain why the FJR stays so unchanged year after year.

It does seem Triumph has incorporated lots of the features people mention when they talk about "upgrades." I'd like to see the bike, although it seems to look like a lot of others we already see. Nice color.

 

[Auburn]

it has some nice options available. Worth a look.

FAIL.

Wet weight shown on the Triumph is more than the FJR...and they don't even include the bags in the wet weight.

Weighs more, less power.

FAIL.

Use a proven platform like the FJR...even a GEN 2. :clapping:

One could hardly say "enters the touring segment"

They have been at it for quite some time

Just sayin'
