New Triumph Adventure

**tri boy** · 8th July 2010, 07:21

Just a teaser at this stage by Triumph.
Lots of talk about what it's final specs will be, but I think it will be based around the 675 engine.
That should have some serious ooomph if they get the torque right.
Might just tempt marks onto one

Nice marketing...They sure as hell better sell a few to pay for the meida hype.
Definitely be interested if turns out to be a stunner, similar to the ol'e steamer..

Yep, looks like their ad agency went to the same school of marketing as Yamaha's did.

Sounds awsome, but after watching that preview video, that thing looked very very low to the ground.
Sounds fucking epic tho.

I am pretty sure in a thread way back I quietly requested that someone/somehow put a street triple (675) engine into my 690 enduro frame, let us hope they went with that option (with some more fuel please).

Probably going to be another fat heavy pig that is more of a styling exercise than a true adv steed. Already too many in that market. Give us a mid sized <150kg twin dirt bike and I'll be first in line.

I can't be bothered with the media bullshit - someone just show me a picture of the thing!

Hell no. Fatty is a keeper.
I'll hock my arse on the streets of Hamilton before that option.
Mind you, the $1.50 a week I'd make out of "night work" would just about get me one, in about a million years.
