Rumors abound on Triumph's new bikes. Bloor admits some new bikes coming. Unclear what sized engines (675, 800 or new version of 1050) New Tiger Cub or something else? Dealers seem to have info, but none of their stories seem to match up. I call them rumors for that reason. I've yet to hear direct info for anyone working for Triumph currently.
Rumors claim two different versions, one more off road based ... hopefully with a 21" front. Other bike more street based. All this is public knowledge.
Rumors of a big Sport tourer as well.
I believe we may learn more at the Milan Show in the Fall.
Hard to believe Triumph would risk releasing new models when their sales are in the toilet. Bloor is a very smart guy. My guess is these could be put on hold. They can't sell what they've got on showroom floors. New bikes won't help much .... at least not in this depression.
IMO, a 675 Adventure bike, if done correctly, could be a good seller for Triumph in a good economy. But you never know.
The Bike business is in deep depression in the USA. Hopefully better in the EU, UK? But my guess is since we have the disease it will spread to the UK and EU. It won't kill us ... but will probably kill at least some of the rest of the world. Sorry 'bout that!
