Must say I preferred the twin round headlights, these ones seem too angular, but I wouldn't decline the offer of using one Laughing

The Bonny looks daft with disc brake.

I like the exhaust coverplate on the Speed.

Love the look of the Tiger, I had a couple of days on the old 955 Tiger and liked it way better than I thought I would.

Does anyone else think the Tiger's got quite a narrow rear wheel for a 1200?

Love that 3rd one!! Besides the front disc. With looks like that i would like to have seen drums. Im sure with modern shoes they would be just as effective.

Is that a 1200? (or 1050). I was thinking it was the 800 motor.

It's the new 1200cc engine.

Why does that make me think of a tiwanese transformer toy, designed by some-one inspired by the Terminator, and Short Curcuit..... that some kid got frustrated with on Christmas day, and has given a black eye?!?!

I must have a thing about headlamps... those look like some-one has taken the fairing off a trophy...... and said , "yeah, well, we can tidy it up with a plastic casing to make it a standard...."

I was checking the site a few days ago and noticed the weedy rear tyre...

What's the purpose of that then? Must have a reason.

I thought maybe it was something to do with (proposed) use on sand/gravel. Motocross bikes have very narrow tyres, perhaps Triumph want to tap into this look?

No more than any bike looks similar to other bikes in its class.

R1, CBR, ZX10 etc..

ER5, GS500, CB500

I have an unfaired Triumph and love it.

However, am I right in thinking that I saw Triumphs are now made in Malasia as well as the UK ?

Maybe 'Buying British' is not quite that anymore.

would love to know what bright spark came up with the idea to change triumphs iconic head lights, and replace them with that mockery, they ruin the bike proportions

those twin lights were gay any way, not that the new ones are much better,
give me a single round one anyday,
the new tiger looks a bit like a v strom, rather than the bmw

indeed the spots are far from pretty, but the new ones are way worse, they look huge from the side in person
