Triumph 1200 Rr - Triumph Superbike

it's called a Speed Triple though... so i think it will be a tuono competitor personally, still cool

 

Also they say it's just a prototype so could be a way off

 

Oh my word. I just got the email from Triumph. Exciting. Hope its a full fat job, NOT a Tuono.

 

Surely the current Speed Triple occupies that segment of the market, at least that’s how I view it. Hoping for a RR in the same vein as BMW’s R/RR model range.

Or a gauging interest press release, might be that bike shows aren’t the place to release proto models due to expense of exhibiting?

 

Gut feel is that they have realised a LOT of people are converting Street Triple RS's etc and have decided to jump on the bandwagon, I mean, it's Bars and a front fairing.. Just hope they don't make it look like the Daytona 675, ready for a new design now!

 

Test rider position, you’re a shoe in for seat height.

 

Looks more like a retro version that a sportsbike.

 

Well there’s a wasted 48 seconds of life I’ll never get back

 

Had a bad day?

 

Absolutely nothing to see in that video. PR nonsense and marketing claptrap. Norton would be proud….

 

And yes, shitty day.

 

that’s what I thought also. Looks more like a bikini fairing.

 

Looks cool but you just know Triumph will find a way to make you feel completely underwhelmed if/when it gets released.
Like getting a frying steak when you ordered a t bone.

 

Was thinking about this as I was drifting off to sleep last night.
I think it will be a half way house sports bike with Thruxton type raised clip on and retro top fairing, old Rickman style. Which would attract a big market of older riders coming off full fat sports bikes. But not me. If that’s the case.

 

Maybe they’ll do a sidecar option with it?
Be far ahead of the curve with that, that will, that

 

That would be more interesting for me. At least I could get the dogs in the sidecar.

 

I think it could end up something like the MV Superveloce in style.. but we will see
