Wow, that is some serious coincidence. Was just looking for this earlier today thinking that it might be about time to announce.

If money wasn't so tight, I'd love to have one. Even with the funds, it wouldn't be practical to buy it unless a dealer opened in Central Arkansas. Wouldn't have time to ride to Memphis for warranty work etc.

Didn't buy into the hype, you can keep the change.

Ah, a few more details - first thing I looked at was the weight - 670 lbs vs 520 for the old trophy or the r1200rt. oops. Two inches lower seat height than either of those so we'll see how it feels. I'm still excited.

And a 6.9 gallon gas tank.  That'll cover some miles. I wouldn't have to fill up everyday going to work.

I know the specs are a little different, but looks like a Sprint GT to me... All good, but not earth shattering. Looks like BMW has a target on their back.

Oh baby, here we go rock-n-roll!
This company is positioning itself to take sales from every major bike manufacturer on the planet and IMHO will be in the top five in pure motorcycle sales within 15 years.
There are a lot of 18-25 year olds given Triumph some serious looks.
I expect to see a 175-250cc bike in a year or two. Bringing the youngsters into the fold as well.
Triumph is building great machines and I'm sure the new Trophy is another one and I'm proud to be a part of the rebuilding of this iconic brand

I like it.  But it does kinda look like an RT w/o the boxer engine. 6.9 gal tank. That'll be good for about 300 miles or so. It'll easily go for $16K probably closer to 17 with all the high tech electronics.
