nklr new triumph adventure bikes coming soon

[Lourd Baltimore]

Yes! I''ve been reading about this in the weekly motorcycle newspaper over here, MCN (http://www.motorcyclenews.com).Look like they're going to have a large displacement (~1200cc) bike that may replace the Tiger and a smaller one that may bebased on their 675cc triple. Nice spy shots they've been getting of the smaller Triumph along with Ducati's new Project 0803 power cruiser being tested around Italy. Now, will it be successful?  I hope so, especially if Triumph prices it well.But then look at the BMW R1200GS vs. the F800GS.  A lot of publications lavish praise on the F800 and say that it can do everything the big R1200 can do, but cheaper and with better handling.  However, the F800 can't touch the R1200's sales figures.Hopefully a new crop of middle-weight adventure tourers will provide viable alternatives to the big GS or KTMs.After that, maybe folks will realize that the KLR's been offering that all along... It's good to see bike makers getting around to putting out new models even though financial times could be better. Josh.
