I saw the new Triumph Explorer at the NEC yesterday and it certainly looked good if you like big adventure bikes, The engine was very compact, the subframe looked pretty substantial, shaft drive and a comfortable seat with several height options, abs and traction control. The negative points seemed to me cast wheels, 19" at the front with no wire wheel option yet and a couple of slightly cheap feeling plastic parts around the petrol tank.
It looked like a contender.
