I don't know about that. If they price it at 20K it's getting in to the BMW 1600GT area. IMO they are going to have to price it way below that to stay competeive with all the other Sport Touring bikes from Japan Inc.

Hope, your right Paul. What price range are you thinking she might come in at? Closer to $17,500 or less?

Well Mike I went online to check the starting prices of all the sport touring bikes I could think of.
Moto Guzzi Norge 1200- $16,290 Yamaha FJR 1300 $15,590 Kawasaki Concours 1400 $15,899 BMW 1200 RT $17,350 BMW K 1600 GT $20,900 Honda ST 1300 $18,230
So I'm thinking what you said. The new Trophy should come in around $17,500 or below. I was surprised at the price of a Honda ST. Hey but I've been wrong before.

Based on Paul and JR's numbers, I am guessing 16-17 for the standard and 17-19 for the SE. I am not-so-secretly hoping for 13, but then I can be something of a wishful thinker.

Yeah and based on the article Ryan posted, North America isn't getting the entry level Trophy but just the SE.
